About this book
The great embroidery at Bayeux, reduced to seventeen coloured plates, gets a running commentary here. John Collingwood Bruce, a clergyman and antiquary of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, based the plates on the Society of Antiquaries' copy made by Charles Stothard.
Nine chapters follow the story of the Norman Conquest from the roll itself through the commission, the entanglement, the knighthood, the succession, the preparations, the landing and the battle to the sequel. The book dates from 1856 and was prompted by a holiday in Normandy.
