Dressing the Part: Textiles as Propaganda in the Middle Ages
Hunger for England: Ambition and Appetite in the Bayeux Tapestry
The Bayeux Tapestry's theme of political ambition in the eventual rivals for the throne of Anglo-Saxon England is enforced by its two feast scenes in the main register, and the many border images of animals and birds eating, of creatures stalking, chasing and capturing prey and of human beings both hunting animals and cultivating the soil
Squawk talk: Commentary by birds in the Bayeux Tapestry
A brief history of the tradition of birds as motifs on textiles is followed by a catalogue of the birds in the Bayeux Tapestry and a discussion of their function. The possible significance of identifiable birds (cocks, doves, peacocks, storks), the birds of Aesop's fables and the creatures in the border ‘bird scaring scene’ is analysed. The individuality, in colouring and position, of all the border birds is demonstrated and the apparent interest…
The Bayeux ‘Tapestry’: Invisible seams and visible boundaries
The embroidered hanging known as the Bayeux ‘Tapestry’ was an obvious candidate for inclusion in an Anglo-Saxonists' conference titled ‘Imagined Endings, Borders, Reigns, Millennia’.

The physical termination of the…

The Four Funerals in "Beowulf" and the Structure of the Poem
Anglo-Saxon Textiles from Cleatham, Humberside
Excavation of the Anglo-Saxon cemetery of Cleatham, England, which was discovered in 1856, occurred between 1979 and 1989. The site has major significance as a cremation cemetery, with 1,016 cremation burials identified to date. Some of the inhumation graves, which go back to the 5th century, preserve textiles that reflect pre-Christian practices of burying grave goods with the dead. Contact with metal grave goods such as brooches, buckles, and w…
