The Norman invasion of England in 1066 is notably described through the images of the Bayeux Tapestry, a cartoon-type story of the Battle of Hastings. The Bayeux Tapestry is about 50 cm tall and 70 metres long. It is the longest piece of embroidery in the world!! The borders of the tapestry are filled with mythological figures, lions, dragons, and scenes from fables.
