Gibbs-Smith explores The Bayeux Tapestry, an embroidery 203 feet long which depicts in "comic strip"-style the Norman version of the events leading to William the Conqueror's victory over the Anglo-Saxon Army in 1066. He explains the techniques used in the making of the Tapestry, as well as its artistic and stylistic significance.
