I think if we can lift the Mary Rose from the sea bed we can move the Bayeux Tapestry.

I think they had only been in Normandy for a hundred years Maw they were Viking stock.

If they are very careful ( am sure they will be) the transportation should be ok.
Yes, I agree the Normans hardly considered themselves as French.
I would like to see the tapestry.

Was Macron right to offer to lend it to us.It would be great for it to be exposed in Hastings- but surely it is far too old and delicate to be transported- and should stay where it is.

I do get annoyed though when people say it is about the French beating the Brits. It was about one group of immigrants living in Normandy, beating another group of related immigrants, living in England- Vikings, cousins.
