The Bayeux Tapestry was most likely made in Norman England, probably by skilled Anglo-Saxon women embroiderers, with the design possibly created by men such as monks or other artists skilled in drawing. While the precise makers are unknown, the embroidery work itself is attributed to women, as embroidery was a common and esteemed craft for women at that time. The tapestry was probably commissioned in the 1070s by Bishop Odo, William the Conqueror’s half-brother, to adorn Bayeux Cathedral in Normandy. The tapestry vividly depicts the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, favoring the Norman perspective.
