Source of article

edit

This article was created so that an over-long section could be moved from Bayeux Tapestry. The version copied was last edited 08:46, 19 August 2011 and is here and I immediately removed most of the content saving relevant background material and the section of Latin text and English translation. In fact, I created the original section myself and do not think anyone else edited it before it was copied here. The background text had several authors, attributed in the original article's history.

Images in table

edit

I have added images for all rows in the table, all derived from http://www.hs-augsburg.de/~harsch/Chronologia/Lspost11/Bayeux/bay_tama.html and intended to cover the entire tapestry, with overlaps as seemed appropriate. This may well have had the unintended effect of replacing a high quality image with one of lower quality, in which case my apologies. However, the images now have the same colour rendering, etc. Thincat (talk) 18:31, 27 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have added text links to higher resolution ad hoc images where this seems helpful. Thincat (talk) 09:36, 28 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Missing tapestry scene?

edit

A question: I came to this article looking for a tapestry that reads "mare transivit ad hestinga", but it isn't here. I found it mentioned elsewhere:

https://www.llph.co.uk/FlemishWallH2.htm

Does it belong to this article, or is it something else?

I know zero about this topic, I was just casually browsing, out of curiosity... Callmepgr (talk) 22:03, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

The "Norman Fleet Armada" scene that you link to appears to be a modern imaginative reworking of parts of the Bayeux Tapestry: it takes the "mare transivit ..." text from scene 38; the image of horses disembarking from scene 39; and the name "hestinga" from scene 40.
