The Bayeux Tapestry is a nearly 70-metre-long, 11th-century embroidered cloth (not woven tapestry) depicting the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, from the Norman perspective, likely commissioned by Bishop Odo and made in England. It chronicles events from 1064 to the Battle of Hastings, featuring 626 figures, 190 horses, and 57 Latin inscriptions, serving as a vital historical document detailing Anglo-Norman culture, warfare, and daily life, including the appearance of Halley's Comet.
