On this day, 960 years ago, the Battle of Hastings changed the course of English history ⚔️
And, luckily for us, someone decided to stitch the whole thing onto a giant piece of fabric.
The Bayeux Tapestry captures the drama, disasters, and downright chaos of the conflict, so we’ve picked out some of our favourite (and most chaotic) scenes from the battle 🧵
