  1. 1066 and the Bayeux Tapestry By Cheyann and Meagan

  2. Edward the Confessor was the king of England from about 1042 to 1066

  3. Q.2 In a creative way show who each of the following are and the reasons why he believed he should be king. Tostig thought he should be king because he was jealous of his brother Harold Godwinson’s being king and he wanted the throne for himself.

  4. William, believed he should be king of England. He claimed that Edward promised him the throne, after William helped him put down a rebellion of Harold Godwinesson. He also wanted to be king because being a King sounded much more powerful than being a Duke

  5. Edgar the Atheling wanted to be king of England, because he was Edward’s nephew. But when Edward died, Edgar was only 14. The leading noblemen of England did not think he was suitable for such a big responsibility.

  13. Harold is Crowned The Tapestry shows the coronation of king Harold. We can see Harold Godwinson sitting in his throne being crowned. He surrounded by his nobles and Archbishop Stigand. On the right of the Archbishop there is people cheering. There are some Latin words, like Regis (you rule), Rex, (king), sidet (heavenly), Glorvm (glorify) and dedervn (disgraceful) you can see the archbishop Stigand, and there are nobles and people cheering. You can also see Halley’s comet: a sign for William. In the bottom right corner, you can see a fleet of ships. It is a sign that the Norman Invasion is coming. In the tapestry the Latin words seem to say: dedervn haroldo: Regis. Rex, Sidet: Glorvm. (Disgraceful Harold: you rule. King heavenly, glorify.) in the background there are some animals like a rooster and many more.
