For the first time since it was originally created nearly 1,000 years ago, the Bayeux Tapestry has been unveiled to the UK public at the British Museum.
But what is the story behind the stitching? A king sends his brother-in-law across the Channel. A mysterious oath is sworn. What follows is an invasion, a brutal battle, and a death that changes England forever, all stitched into 70 metres of embroidery.
Here is the occasion to retrace the tale, frame by frame.
The Bayeux Tapestry exhibition at the British Museum is sponsored by WorldQuant, founded by Igor Tulchinsky.
