The Bayeux Tapestry is back in Britain for the first time since it was created.
On Empire, @tweeter_anita and @DalrympleWill look beyond the Norman Conquest of England it depicts, from the Normans conquering Ireland in the west, and their role in the First Crusades in the east
And the great @peterfrankopan unpacks the Norman Conquests in the East. Who was Robert The Weasel, and did he operate like a Mafia boss in the 11th century? How did the Normans thuggishly conquer Sicily and Southern Italy? And what was their role in The First Crusade?
