EDITORS COMMENTS
Bayeux Tapestry: The Call to Battle (Section 7 of 8) The intricately woven threads of the Bayeux Tapestry tell the story of the Norman Conquest of England, which took place between 1064 and 1066. In this section, depicting a pivotal moment in the narrative, Duke William of Normandy, later known as William the Conqueror, is shown exhorting his men to do battle against the Anglo-Saxon army led by King Harold Godwinson of England. William, portrayed as a determined and resolute leader, stands atop a horse, his arms outstretched, urging his soldiers forward. His men, dressed in chain mail and helmets, are shown with focused expressions, their weapons at the ready. The contrast between the calm, resolute faces of the Normans and the chaotic, disorganized ranks of the Anglo-Saxons underscores the superiority of William's forces. The scene transitions abruptly from William's rallying cry to the commencement of the battle. The once orderly ranks of the Normans and Anglo-Saxons become a chaotic whirl of movement and violence. Arrows fly through the air, horses rearing and charging, and men clash in hand-to-hand combat. The tapestry does not shy away from depicting the brutal realities of war, with fallen soldiers on both sides. The Battle of Hastings, as this engagement came to be known, was a turning point in English history. King Harold was killed, and William was crowned King of England, marking the end of Anglo-Saxon rule and the beginning of the Norman Conquest. The Bayeux Tapestry, a testament to the artistic and historical significance of this period, continues to captivate and inspire scholars and visitors alike.
