Last crowned Anglo-Saxon king of England (c. 1022/23–1066).
The Bayeux Tapestry has arrived in London for its first display on British soil in almost 1,000 years. The 70-metre wool-on-linen embroidery is being shown at the British Museum this September, after France agreed to loan it amid renovation at Bayeux. Tickets sold rapidly, with demand high for viewing through 2026 and 2027.
