Dressing the Part: Textiles as Propaganda in the Middle Ages
Kingship, Legislation and Power in Anglo-Saxon England
The relationship between Anglo-Saxon kingship, law, and the functioning of power is explored via a number of different angles. The essays collected here focus on how Anglo-Saxon royal authority was expressed and disseminated, through laws, delegation, relationships between monarch and Church, and between monarchs at times of multiple kingships and changing power ratios. Specific topics include the importance of kings in consolidating the English …
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 physical termination of the…
