Sewn by English women probably in Kent to a Norman brief, the embroidery illustrates the events leading to the Norman invasion and conquest of England by an army led by Duke William of Normandy and the death of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. King Edward the Confessor (c.1003-66) dies and Harold accepts the crown. He is crowned King by Archbishop Stigand. A strange star appears (Halley's Comet) and Harold is warned it is an omen
