An Archaeological Study of the Bayeux Tapestry provides a unique
re-examination of this famous piece of work through the historical
geography and archaeology of the tapestry. Trevor Rowley is the
first author to have analysed the tapestry through the landscapes,
buildings and structures shown, such as towns and castles, while
comparing them to the landscapes, buildings, ruins and earthworks
which can be seen today. By comparing illustrated extracts from the
tapestry to historical and contemporary illustrations, maps and
reconstructions Rowley is able to provide the reader with a unique
visual setting against which they are able to place the events on
the tapestry. This approach allows Rowley to challenge a number of
generally accepted assumptions regarding the location of several
scenes in the tapestry, most controversially suggesting that
William may never have gone to Hastings at all. Finally, Rowley
tackles the missing end of the tapestry, suggesting the places and
events which would have been depicted on this portion of Williams
journey to Westminster.
