Bayeux tapestries commemorate the glory of the Norman Conquest of England, a significant milestone in the history of England. The Battle of Hastings contributed to the formation of the modern England, the most powerful monarchy in Europe. The original Bayeux tapestries were commissioned by Bishop Odo of Bayeux and they were displayed in the Bayeux Cathedral. There is a reference about these tapestries in the 1476 inventory of the Bayeux Cathedral. They measured 20 inches tall and 230 feet long and have Latin inscriptions on them.
The bayeux tapestries were rediscovered in the 17th century in Bayeux; however, a few of them had disappeared mysteriously from the collections; one of them had probably depicted the coronation of Duke William.
