The Bayeux Tapestry - in full!

[Brian G Turner]

I thought this might be little more than a dull panorama of the original tapestry - instead, Lindybeige gives an entertaining narration of the events shown, with a little added animation:

Highly entertaining! But any moment now HareBrain will come along and tell us the chap couldn't pronounce Bosham properly...

It's weird, I saw this vid a few days ago. Then looking for birthday cards I noticed there is a whole range of 'Bayeux tapestry'-type cards done in a similar humour to the video. (Well, close enough). I did not check to see if Lindybeige was the author of the cards....

Hilarious. Reminds me of the "Fractured Fairy Tales" of the Rocky and Bullwinckle show.

Yet, I find that I have a much deeper understanding of the history and the Tapestry.

I'm seen those before - unfortunately, I doubt any of my relatives would get the references.

This was my schoolboy intro to the Bayeaux Tapestry....Guinness hoardings all around the UK in 1966

But any moment now HareBrain will come along and tell us the chap couldn't pronounce Bosham properly...

"Any moment now" = "in five years". But yes, IT'S PRONOUNCED BOZZUM NOT BOWSHUM!!

Better late than never.

hm... I've been told there's a piece of the original Bayeaux tapestry in a library or museum in Newcastle upon Tyne...
