The Bayeux Tapestry: A Loom-Sized Chronicle of Conquest
from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault
We untangle the 11th‑century embroidered narrative that preserves the Norman invasion. From Opus Anglicanum and Canterbury workmanship to border scenes of daily life, farming tools, and Halley’s Comet, we explore who stitched the story, who funded it, and what it reveals about power and perspective. Learn about its UNESCO Memory of the World status, the upcoming 2026–2027 loan to the British Museum, and why this 70‑meter textile still speaks across nine centuries.
