BAYEUX, France - The French town of Bayeux has been home for nearly a millennium to a tapestry depicting a bloody battle for power.An exhibition featuring a tapestry illustrating the events of hit HBO TV show “Game of Thrones” opened in Bayeux, Normandy, on Friday - just down the road from the museum where its eleventh century inspiration is housed.
Some 87 meters later, it ends in fire and blood with the final, controversial, scenes of the eighth season. It would have been a challenge that also faced the medieval embroiderers, who created the famous 70-meter Bayeux tapestry to recount the invasion of England by William the Conquerer. The work brings to life scenes such as the 1066 Battle of Hastings, where Harold of Wessex is shown dying with an arrow to the eye.
