21 Bayeux Cathedral and the Mystery of Survival
1 Dodwell, 'The Bayeux Tapestry and the French Secular Epic'.
2 Vallery-Radot, La Cathedrale de Bayeux, p. 41. The scene dates from 1857. There seems no evidence of any pre-existing similar sculpture linking the tapestry with the cathedral.
3 Wace, Roman de Rou, III, lines 5685ff.
4 Ibid., Ill, lines 6453ff.
5 Interestingly, the image depicted in the tapestry seems identical to how William's ship is described in the Ship List of William the Conqueror, except that for some curious and as yet unexplained reason the embroidered version is a mirror image of that in the Ship List. Van Houts, 'The Echo of the Conquest in the Latin Sources'.
6 Wace, Roman de Rou, III, lines 8115ff.
7 The conjectures which follow are indebted to H. Prentout, 'Les Sources de la conquete de PAngleterre' (who put them forward only as conjectures).
8 Vallery-Radot, La Cathedrale de Bayeux, pp. 68ff.
9 Ibid., p. 69.
10 Wace, Roman de Rou, III, line 11121.
11 Although William of Malmesbury has Harold die in a manner which is reminiscent of the tapestry, his account of Harold's voyage is completely at odds with what we see in the tapestry. Malmesbury has him depart only on a fishing expedition, which is blown off-course to France. Marjorie Chibnall has examined the relationship between the Bayeux Tapestry and Orderic Vitalis and concluded that Orderic either did not know of the tapestry or chose not to use it: Chibnall, 'Orderic Vital et la tapisserie de Bayeux'.
