Some of the major characters and events depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry are also in my novel Knight’s Pawn. While plenty of authors have done justice to the Battle of Hastings, my interest was in the battle fatigue and events immediately after the battle. The Bayeux Tapestry was vital in assisting my research into what happened that night the dead and wounded and especially Harold’s body. It gave me insight into how the Battle of Hastings affected the surrounding villages. Learning the rich history of the tapestry is something I’ve been eager to share with readers, and it comes up often enough in my blog that I’ve put together a Bayeux Tapestry FAQ.
