The Bayeux Tapestry - all of it, from start to finish
A complete guide to the story as depicted on the famous Bayeux Tapestry. There is a lot more to it than just the Battle of Hastings.

Other than The Adventures of Stoke Mandeville, this is the longest editing job I have ever done. It took eleven very long days of work to put this together from the opportunist footage I snatched when changing trains near the museum where it is on display. The shoot was not without its problems, one of which was the fact that because the tapestry is behind glass, and the museum has many illuminated displays, the reflections in the glass were a bane, and I didn't manage to get rid of them all. Another was that my stills camera refused to work after taking a small number of pictures. It had always worked fine before, and has always worked fine since. It wasn't the battery and it wasn't the SD card. It was a mystery.
For the curious, the edit involved seventeen tracks on the timeline, and has twenty-two animated scenes. Unfortunately, the main animation software I was using could not handle full HD images, and so there is a slight loss of picture quality during most of the animated scenes. You will notice that the close-ups have a better picture quality than the wide shots. This is because they were taken with the camera pushed up against the glass, which improved focussing, and got rid of almost all of the haze and reflections caused by the glass.
It is important to understand that this 'tapestry' is a piece of propaganda, and does not tell an accurate version of events. The story I tell here is the one depicted, not what actually happened.
I have enough material for more videos on the tapestry, but am in no great hurry to spend many more days editing this difficult footage. Trying to match the writing and speaking of narration to panning camerawork that had no notion when shot of what might need to be said about some passing scene, was a nightmare, and many editing compromises had to be made, with some scenes skipped past quickly, and others drawn out.
Clarification on the nudity: I said that the figure under the mysterious Cleric and woman was the the only figure displaying genitals on the tapestry. This was misleading. Several animals clearly are pictured with genitals, and on the tapestry in Bayeux today it looks as though a couple of other human figures have genitals. Some of these may have been added later, and these are not being 'displayed' as the displaying figure is clearly doing, but look more incidental.
I describe the tall figure emerging from the building with a lance and pennant, being brought his horse, as 'William'. It occurred to me after making the video that all the sources I consulted describe this figure as William, but the text does not name him as William, so possibly he is just a Norman knight, representing any and all of the knights setting out for the battle, and that this figure is meant to be 'William' could be a modern tradition that has become accepted fact just by repetition.

The Breton leader Count Alan Rufus appears at least 15 times on the BT, almost as often as his cousin Duke William, and Alan was a friend of Abbot Scolland of St Augustine's at Canterbury, who oversaw the embroidery. Alan was so favourable toward the English that he brought William I and II up to York to apologise to the citizens; the second occasion seems to have precipitated the months-long Norman baronial rebellion in 1088. Alan may have been the "Norman" aristocrat who was betrothed to Harold's sister, but in any case Harold's daughter Gunhildr and Alan were _very close_ so "Harold Rex" is presumably how Alan and Scolland viewed the facts.
There was a lot of effort put into this, and that animation: classic British comedy.

The figure named Turold was the messenger. The name "Turold" is recorded in the Domesday Book as a vassal of Odo in Kent.
It _could_ be that Edward gets the most detailed depiction because he was the first person depicted. Then the artist realized how much time he had spent, and realizing how much was still left to do, he probably said something rhyming with 'bucket' and decided to do it quick and easy rather than elaborately. And look, he started out carefully with the hands of those other two guys as well. On one of them you can see both his hands, but only the right has the black outline. I guess that's when he decided it was taking too long.

Matt Spaul Huh that's a good point, I didn't know about the blindness punishment. My theory has always been that the two figures are one and the same, and are supposed to imply that both events happened to Harold. He was shot in the face but survived, and THEN was ridden down and killed by a Norman Knight. But the arrow stitching on the second figure (being ridden. down by a knight) was removed at a later date, perhaps because the benefactors thought it was embarrassing to admit that King Harold was brutally trampled to death by a horse, perhaps they thought being shot and killed by an archer was more a more noble death for a King.

One of the finest, best researched and funniest evaluations of the Bayeux Tapestry you will ever see! All hail Lindybeige!
The sails would have been square, yes, but I think square sails is what is depicted here. There are contemporary depictions of sails independent of the Bayeux tapestry which show sails in a similar style. It could be a popular depiction (just as the depiction of the trees aren't exactly up to snuff either), but what is interesting is that the sails end up in a rope, perhaps a rod, held by the pilot. If you look at the ships at the very beginning of the tapestry, it appears the sails are in the process of being furled or unfurled, and there you see them as more square (or rectangular). I suspect the depictions are a better representation than we tend to think today.
@AndyJarman
6 жыл бұрын
Gilmaris I think it's a device for explaining the sails are flexible. If depicted as rectangles they would appear stiff. The shape shown approximates a stylised side view of an unfurled sail. Of course, he could be referring to any purveyor of dairy products.

Amazing. When my teacher sent me this I didn't like it but I do now, it was really informative. I learnt so much from it, amazing.
As always awesome video keep up the brilliant work lindybeige
I love your presentation. ROFL!!!
I can only imagine the amount of work you put into this. Thank you. Did KZread try to demonetise it?
Extremely well done! This really brings the Norman / Anglo-Saxon history to life. Very informative.
Now this is some *serious* editing. Funny and illuminating, highly enjoyable.

You are absolutely right. What's ignorant is assuming that all English speakers have English heritage. Don't take it to heart; this is the internet after all :)
Nice Monty Python style animations!
Damn this is some great levels of editing here Lloyd.
Enjoyed this so much - information and humour! Saw the actual Bayeux Tapestry earlier this month so fascinated by this interpretation - thank you!
