However, the <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Witenagemot<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, the Anglo-Saxon council of the nobility, chose a new king from amongst themselves, <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bayeuxmuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Bayeux-tapisserie-personnages-Harold-660x440.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">elevating the Earl of Wessex, Harold Godwinson, to the throne<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

The tapestry ends with the Norman victory at Hastings, but most people know what happened after. William would be crowned at Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day of that year and would be forever known as William the Conqueror. Every king and queen of England, and later of Great Britain, is a direct descendant of his.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Confusingly, the Bayeux Tapestry is not a tapestry, nor was it made in Bayeux. It\u2019s actually embroidery, and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">it was likely made<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> in Kent in the southeast of England. It earned its name because it <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is kept<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> at the Cathedral of Bayeux in Normandy. William\u2019s half-brother Odo was Bishop of Bayeux and was likely the one who commissioned the tapestry\u2019s creation. While it is an incredibly important artifact of both English and French history, for many centuries, the tapestry had only local significance. Every year, the bishop of Bayeux would unfurl the entire tapestry to decorate the cathedral for the Feast of Saint John the Baptist in June. It would not gain wider international recognition until it <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was exhibited<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> at the Louvre in 1797. The first museum built to house and display the tapestry <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was established<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> in 1913.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As part of a cultural exchange between the British and French governments, the Bayeux Tapestry will be lent to the British Museum <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to go on<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> display between September 2025 and July 2027. Meanwhile, several artifacts from the British Museum, including <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.culturefrontier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sutton-Hoo-Cover-978x652.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">artifacts from the Sutton Hoo burial mounds<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> and <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nms.ac.uk\/production\/Images\/Discover\/The-story-of-the-Lewis-chess-pieces\/lewis-chess-pieces-group.jpg?w=1200&amp;h=628&amp;q=100&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;dm=1718695205&amp;s=e24db0d85f2944674eb16bfc6ec28d61\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the Isle of Lewis chess pieces<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, will be lent to French museums. The exchange was first proposed in 2017. However, with the global pandemic and two British prime ministers coming and going in the meantime, it has taken much longer than expected to get this arrangement off the ground. French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer made the exchange agreement official at Windsor Castle on Tuesday. British Museum chairman George Osborne predicted that the tapestry\u2019s exhibition \u201cwill be the blockbuster show of our generation\u201d, similar to the contents of Tutankhamun\u2019s tomb or when France sent the Mona Lisa around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Some have commented that this sort of exchange involving incredibly famous and valuable artifacts may serve as a template for how the British Museum can let go of pieces with tainted provenances, <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2022\/05\/homeward-bound-the-continuing-story-of-the-elgin-marbles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">such as the Parthenon Marbles<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Organizations such as the Parthenon Project have suggested this sort of exchange in the past, proposing that the controversial sculptures taken from the Acropolis in Athens could <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">be exchanged<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, even if temporarily, for any number of items that the Greek government could loan to the British Museum in turn.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After over nine hundred years, the Bayeux Tapestry will return to England as part of an exchange between the British and French governments.
