What scene in the Bayeux Tapestry is even more important than the Battle of Hastings? Many argue that it’s the scene depicted in this detailed cross stitch pattern: Harold Godwinson swearing an oath to William of Normandy on the holy relics at Bayeux. Whether it was an oath of fealty or a promise to support William’s claim to the English throne, this pivotal moment set in motion the Conquest of 1066, which changed English history forever. Did Harold make this oath willingly or was he coerced? Did he always mean to break his word? You can decide for yourself as you stitch the scene from this pattern, recreated using modern cross stitch technique. This scene is perfect for experienced stitchers who love medieval history, chivalry, and religious art.
