In a style that could attack as a predecessor to a graphic novel or with a grotesque exaggeration, as a 21st century viewer or as a straight comic book predecessor, the embroidery of the Bayou Tapestry tells the story, “William’s Conqueror, William’s Duques, William’s conqueror, William’s conqueror. The horse across the English Channel successfully charged the throne of the last Anglo-Saxon king, Harold Godwinson.”
All this takes place in 58 scenes featuring over 600 wool thread people and 200 horses. Although focusing on historical battles, embroidery also reveals equipment from wide living in the 11th century, including architecture and armor, and includes almost 400 Latin words that accompany the images. ”
