THIS! This is awesome. You did a great job here! I am an archaeologist and historian and I think that knowledge mediation is still a bit of a grey spot in our disciplines. Works like yours done with passion are so damn important! "Professional" scientist (meaning people who get paid for doing science or exhibitions in this case - not talking about quality or smth.) don't get paid or given the freedom for this, and most of the times they lack the know how or the creativity. I think the museum would be happy to show your video on their homepage, and you should definitely link to it on the wikipedia-site of the tapestry. (Yes Wikipedia is no longer the devil!) This is great! I love it! Thanks!

@zoetropo1
@zoetropo1 6 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.

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.

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.

great area to visit for history buffs, castles, churches and some beaches were some battle or other happened.;) And of course the cheeses, ciders etc. are great as well. The whole area feels historic, even for most Europeans like me who are more used to such features in their cities and lands, I think. One could also say France is rather stagnant, but it is a great museum for holidays.

In retrospect, I think this is one of Lloyd's top 5 videos, probably top 3. This is pretty much THE definitive video analysis on the Bayeux Tapestry that's less than an hour long.

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.

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.

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.

The animation bits give it a good pace, the narration gives it tone and the sound effects give it context. This is great work, well done

So, of course one must ask whether the "Turold" depicted as a tiny man in one scene is the "Turoldus" mentioned in the cryptic passage at the end of La Chanson de Roland " (Ci falt la geste que Turoldus declinet)* -- normally interpreted "here must end the poem that Turoldus declines (declines to acknowledge? To write? To continue?)" but possibly "Here ends the poem that Turoldus has set down(?)" [brought down? thrown down? slid down upon?]

I've heard the theory before, that Turold the dwarf was the author of the Song of Roland. We don't know the date it was composed, though it would have been roughly at the time (give or take a few decades) as Hastings. An author of that era, I'm thinking maybe Williams of Malmesbury, mentions the Normans sang the Song of Roland to encourage themselves before the battle.
@WhereWhatHuh
@WhereWhatHuh 7 жыл бұрын
That would explain the appearance of Turold in the Bayeaux Tapestry, whether he was there in fact of merely as the author of the song they sang.
