Bishop Odo and the Bayeux Tapestry

Start: 15th March 2013 at 6:00pm
End: 17th March 2013 at 2:00pm
Tutor: Trevor Rowley

The Bayeux Tapestry is the most important visual record to survive from the Anglo-Norman world of the 11th Century. It was almost certainly commissioned by William the Conqueror’s half-brother, Odo, Bishop of Bayeux. In this course we will examine how, why and where the tapestry was created and discuss other possible sponsors. We will also analyse Odo’s extraordinary life-story, which touched on so many important aspects of the Norman world.
