Hunger for England: Ambition and Appetite in the Bayeux Tapestry

Gale R. Owen-Crocker

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The Bayeux Tapestry's theme of political ambition in the eventual rivals for the throne of Anglo-Saxon England is enforced by its two feast scenes in the main register, and the many border images of animals and birds eating, of creatures stalking, chasing and capturing prey and of human beings both hunting animals and cultivating the soil. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
