It _could_ be that Edward gets the most detailed depiction because he was the first person depicted. Then the artist realized how much time he had spent, and realizing how much was still left to do, he probably said something rhyming with 'bucket' and decided to do it quick and easy rather than elaborately. And look, he started out carefully with the hands of those other two guys as well. On one of them you can see both his hands, but only the right has the black outline. I guess that's when he decided it was taking too long.

@zoetropo16 жыл бұрын
The Breton leader Count Alan Rufus appears at least 15 times on the BT, almost as often as his cousin Duke William, and Alan was a friend of Abbot Scolland of St Augustine's at Canterbury, who oversaw the embroidery. Alan was so favourable toward the English that he brought William I and II up to York to apologise to the citizens; the second occasion seems to have precipitated the months-long Norman baronial rebellion in 1088. Alan may have been the "Norman" aristocrat who was betrothed to Harold's sister, but in any case Harold's daughter Gunhildr and Alan were _very close_ so "Harold Rex" is presumably how Alan and Scolland viewed the facts.

@Edithae7 жыл бұрын
Matt Spaul Huh that's a good point, I didn't know about the blindness punishment. My theory has always been that the two figures are one and the same, and are supposed to imply that both events happened to Harold. He was shot in the face but survived, and THEN was ridden down and killed by a Norman Knight. But the arrow stitching on the second figure (being ridden. down by a knight) was removed at a later date, perhaps because the benefactors thought it was embarrassing to admit that King Harold was brutally trampled to death by a horse, perhaps they thought being shot and killed by an archer was more a more noble death for a King.

The sails would have been square, yes, but I think square sails is what is depicted here. There are contemporary depictions of sails independent of the Bayeux tapestry which show sails in a similar style. It could be a popular depiction (just as the depiction of the trees aren't exactly up to snuff either), but what is interesting is that the sails end up in a rope, perhaps a rod, held by the pilot. If you look at the ships at the very beginning of the tapestry, it appears the sails are in the process of being furled or unfurled, and there you see them as more square (or rectangular). I suspect the depictions are a better representation than we tend to think today.
@AndyJarman7 жыл бұрын
Gilmaris I think it's a device for explaining the sails are flexible. If depicted as rectangles they would appear stiff. The shape shown approximates a stylised side view of an unfurled sail. Of course, he could be referring to any purveyor of dairy products.

He is on the only TV that matters now, and he is famous. Just not as rich as if he was on old fashioned TV. Probably. He has a very nice accent. But his name isn't Norman, so his family might only be noveau riche - say less than 500 years old.

last i knew he's a climate change denier, i'm sure the BBC would be happy to have him were that not the case.

Really? I find that very hard to believe. If so, my opinion of him has dropped a long way. Are you sure he hasn't just questioned some particular bits of climate science? Because the interweb does have a habit of just branding anyone with a question as a denier, doesn't it.

Agreed on all points @thisnicklldo ... i would really like to know as well and IF he is an actual denier, my opinion of him has dropped quite a bit as well.

My favorite out of all your videos Lloyd. I think it was a really creative and unique video.

Is that the medieval version of a builder wolf whistling at a woman?

Just one of the bits of history we skimmed over in school. That was bloody good fun.
