Bayeux Tapestry

[ruben123456789vid]

XD horses kick harold at the end

[stridercrowe]

I used to be a king of England like you, but then I took an arrow in the eye.

[govreno911]

I BET YOU 795 OF THE LIKES ARE TEACHERS

[govreno911]

Thank You For Helping Me Finish My Homework!

[w00x360]

Only problems:

- Saxons were smashing the normans all battle until the "final rush" when the normans lured the saxons away by pretending to retreat, so they could break the saxon defence

- No mention that saxons were fighting the vikings simultaneously at the other end of the country

- Doesn't mention that the "betrayal" of Harold was not changing the religion of his country to match that of Normandy

Overall, good video though :P

[thrkrew]

omg everyone says it helped them with there homework well in my case if my teacher never saw this vid i wouldnt have gotten this homework in the 1st place :P

[Armonis]

Thumbs up if the entire thing made you think of Age of Empires.

[MasterBaltar]

Great work! Greets from Saxony!

[bjay1986]

he used to be king, then he took an arrow to the eye ;D

[JedScott0921]

Felicia Day brought me here..

[katkue3]

King Harold used to rule all of england... then he took an arrow to the eye...

[brnleague99]

So do you think Harold was killed by an arrow to the eye...or to the chest as was originally depicted?

[pikachugirllauren]

[BATHEPAIN]

Why am I watching this??? I only clicked it because it was on the homepage.

[iWhoremonal]

Sew it girl

[fillmystocking]

Thank you man, that was fantastic... : >

[qwertyuiopasdfghj001]

Hastings is good, but check the Moldavian wars in the 14-15 centuries, especially those against the Ottoman Empire - the most advanced and professional army at that time was held back for decades before reaching Vienna

[djdiu]

@qwertyuiopasdfghj001 Moldova was known to be a "a gate of Christianity" because if the Ottoman would have conquered them, then it would have been easier for them to conquer the Catholic part of Europe.

[HandelMcmandle]

And thus, a meme was born...

[Haasenpad]

a story about how the elite fight among eachother for land, wealth and power, while normal people die and live in poverty... the "history" of mankind

[craderg87]

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

[TheAlleycat7]

Berkeley College is one of the private colleges that I would not recommend a person to attend. it has a lot of flaws that you will only see in your junior and senior year. you will pay for finite math over and over. the course is impossible. do not sign up. you will pay a lot of money and probably wont gbraduate due to the seriousness of this math class that you wont use in your everyday world.

[AmazingBabyAndSuper]

someone gag on sea..

[88dragons88]

History, yet again, is written by the Victor.

[BefuddledBumpkin]

@88dragons88 I don't really believe that saying, I often am able to find the other point of view from the losers side. That being said I feel that William the Conqueror was in the wrong

[88dragons88]

@BefuddledBumpkin Well the truth is hard to find and is only available for the minority. Like me and you.

[BefuddledBumpkin]

@88dragons88  Thank you my boy, and by minority I guess that would mean people who care to investigate a little more!

[88dragons88]

@BefuddledBumpkin ;)

[flyingspagetti]

One more reason to play medieval 2 total war again.

[Vietrill]

Is that fine Bayeux?

[RogueRoog]

why am i watching this i studied the bayeux tapestry LAST year...

[Hemulen40]

Normans ( & Scandinavians ) rule !

[twitchster77]

Cool story bro!

Will it blend?

[goatskindreams]

@libbypwns !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eraf]

omg @libbypwns went there!!!

[youaremyoffspring]

Thumbs up if you saw the rule 34 tapestry before this!

[twilightcrazy82]

lol i watched this like in 5th grade

[MagnusDune]

I'm here to view zeh tapestries.

[MaisysTheMouse]

This is comfusing me: Why are the red and blue horses?!

[Xoo6e5]

ta du galerer!!

[jeanpca]

Pure genius!

[NiamhsWeb]

Amazing animation, such a great story. Although you'd have to know a bit about it to understand. I am not the best at history so i was a bit lost, but i get some of it. Perhaps it could've used an intro just to tell people whos who, i seem to notice only first names were used. But other than that utterly fantastic! I might have to email my history teacher this!

[pandaz26]

just brilliant

[teymourb]

thanks, i finished my homework



[thrkrew]

@teymourb rlly? this gave me more homework :P

[daisymiau]

das Bild bei 1:06 ist in unserem Engilsh-buch

[darkkite23]

This was awesome! The Bayeux Tapestry was already pretty interesting, but this made it that much better!

[alphaandomegalover]

had to use this in 8th grade history class =) thx!

[yagyaghag]

Woah, history

[transientsmile]

This is great xD Love the little sound effects, and the music is very nice, and perfectly timed. Whenever you post a video with music, though, you should always share the song title and artist with the viewers, because you're bound to be asked my someone, especially when it's as awesome as this song ;)

[elettra999]

incantevole! bravo!

[davedavidson2009]

Great but you need to learn how to encode properly for youtube the jittering of the video as you pan makes it very difficult to watch. There are many free apps to create good youtube videos thanks.

[DAVERUKY]

really well done, nice light hearted animations.

[PierreaSweedieCat]

Incredibly well done! You were referred to by the HistoryTeachers. Their link sent me here. (I think you are on their Facebook page.) See their "1066" video. Thanks for all your hard work!

[001mangomango]

I likr it

[heddryin]

Wonderful!!!!

Where's the music from??

[MrliezzLie]

Finally a fun way to learn History :D

[ritornagulliver]

i like Bayeux Tapestry

[jhxl13]

I feel so... nerdy

[Hufflepuffish]

*historical nerdgasm*

[TheDefiantBadger]

@Kiwilolo It's a blooming tapestry! What do you expect? Besides, the middle ages was quite a bad time for art.

[TheDefiantBadger]

I love this so much.

[narhene]

Thank you so much. Till now i did not understand the norman conquest

But now its all stored up in my brain

[reid527]

thank you this was a great vid

[GoldAndroid]

you are a legend helped me soo much

[tcmoy3]

this is going to help me with my SS quiz thanks so much

[Elenkhos]

well done

[Galvanidze]

Thumbs up if you watched this in a dark room and now you see the entire comment section slowly sliding sideways.

[betokkikke]

I was so excited to finally warch an animated version of the Bayeux magnificent art in this video, but after doing it I felt somehow dissapointed with the results. It's OK as an introduction to those who don't know what's all about, unluckly this video clip erases many scenes of the complete work of art and the sound effects are very elemental, to say the less. I hope some day I can watch a much better work of animation. From Mexico, B-p.

[SaphiraSuperStar]

Whart's the music of oh oh oh how calls that song?



[SaphiraSuperStar]

Whart's the music of oh oh oh how calls that song?

"THE" best recreation of the Bayeux Tapestry a big thank you to @PotionGraphics

[Andybkk619]

"THE" best recreation of the Bayeux Tapestry a big thank you to PotionGraphics

[Mayerling52]

gosh I remember making a tapestry of this when I was 11 at La Sagesse!! Our nun, Sr.Brigid was into some serious stuff!♥ God Bless her!

[childeric57]

I often think of the women who pushed and pulled the threads of that embroidery. What did they know, what had they seen, how did they feel about the world of men they were creating in wool?

[jonahbegone]

@childeric57 I don't care, Oprah. It's the battle that was important.

[childeric57]

@jonahbegone Battles happen in a day; they change the names of the people in the castles, but out in the fields, and in the little huts, life goes on, for 10,000 years in either direction. To try to understand the lives of the common persons of any given period is the true purpose of history. To focus only on battles or the edicts of some queen is a grievously narrow, almost lazy way of regarding our past.

[LoneWolf76ita]

Fantastic, really fantastic. Great work!!!!

[artistdrewharrison]

Great animation. Really brings history to life.

[IbegtoDreaM95]

It's fantastic..I have to do a project about that....

[grubelsucht]

I'm reminded the bowmen could launch 10 arrows a minute. Imagine 5,000 archers on each side filling the sky with their arrows. Too bad for Harald. Would Britain be different today had Harald won? Today's English language would be the poorer without those Latin and French words and tweak to the grammar the Normans introduced, but what good came of all those deaths to benefit the Norman upper class? Like today, the have-nots suffer for the haves.

[tippyray]

This is great!!

[Lucozade48]

Thats awsome how you made something from 100 yrs ago modern and come to life. It really helped me with my homework.

[Noellep]

@Lucozade48 *1000

[Noellep]

@Lucozade48 *1000 years ago

[duvexy]

That was truly awesome



[Erikjust]

I wonder if England would look any different today if it had been William who had been slain and not Harold.

I think i heard i some historic show, that the differences in todays Britain if Harold had won would have been suttle near non existent.

[odenskrigare]

this is ... incredible

[hightea65]

thumbs up if ur watching this from CSN

[giumann2000]

Thank you very much. It helped me for an important history test!!

[Dunkeldonner]

Someone knows the title of the music beginning at 1:11?

[JuanCarandell]

The 1º comics book of the History!

[twinstwos]

This is so fantastic how you animated the tapestry! I just loved it! I have a book on the tapestry and they call it "the World's oldest cartoon strip"!

[irinabri]

Fantastic! So well done!

[IdrilCelebrindal90]

Saw it this morning in art history! Everyone laughed at the seasick guy and our professor said, "The English Channel is pretty rough" haha

[ElizabethIrish]

I'd love to see the full tapestry done! Please?

[superblonde5000]

Hi i just wanted to say that your work is awesome. I'm a new animation student, but i can only imagine how much work that took. I watched all your other work as well and loved it. I have a similar cut out style and was just wondering if you think animating in after effects is easier than doing it in final cut.

[Societyisfalling]

3:55 NOOB!

[ratramnus]

What a marvelous blending of 21st Century and 11th Century art forms! A great teaching aid, especially with the sound affects.

T.R. Roberts

[Cj3350]

i love it

[FrisianDude]

Haha, awesome. I love how those archers shoot without paying attention to what they're doing.

[loveDaisyhamster]

we saw this in school

[Cj3350]

@happymax1 U FAIL

[Cj3350]

THANK YOU THANK YOU OWNER OF THIS VIDEO...

This helped me with my year 9 S.A Work Test and I had

Full mark THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!

[mdesoer]

Love it! Was going over this time in history to prepare my daughter for her test. She'll really remember the Norman conquest now!

[vampirexchild]

I love history. If I were a boy, I'd totally have a history induced boner right now.

[Madmachine73]

@vampirexchild Glad ppl love history with such compassion :p

[vampirexchild]

@Madmachine73 It's just so fascinating! And sexy.

[Madmachine73]

@vampirexchild Are wars sexy?

[vampirexchild]

@Madmachine73 No, but boners are.

[vampirexchild]

@Madmachine73 Oh, and have you seen Band of Brothers? The attractive cast = sexy.

[Madmachine73]

@vampirexchild No I haven't. I'm sorry.

[vampirexchild]

@Madmachine73 Ah, don't worry. The only person you need to apologize to is yourself, for missing out on something rather brilliant.

[192059827]

thank you so much! I got an A of because of you !

[Nilswerks]

This is a great video and teaching aide. It really brings the tapestry to life!

[kanholin]

Amazing,also the Normans were descendants of Vikings and Norsemen, from the time of Hrolf called rollon

[chalicechiq]

And ever since William, England has known a unity that has never been breached by a foreign invader. That's nearly 1000 years. In 2066, I wonder if England is going to have a party to end all parties, marking 1000 years of unified history.

[Mortdefides]

Amazing! Makes it a lot easier to study that way, understanding history, not learning it by heart

[happymax1]

Too much Saxon violence......

[Damasichthon]

boah

1,2,3,4 hab ichs geschaut

bin fasziniert

[holmganghamburg]

very nice :)

greetings from germany

[Igotopieces]

That's coolness

[ElizabethIrish]

Loved this video! Would have loved it more if you'd included the beginning including King Edward's death!

[OverlordJake]

Awesome animation.

-Paul

[StueyLestrange]

vivat rex

[Dcongiusti]

This video=extremely helpful! Thanks for taking the time to put it together!

[StueyLestrange]

this is EPIC!!..what a sad year for the English. My ancestors were vikingr (known through a DNA test with the history channel) but settled long before 1066. making them almost 'nativs' in a way. like i said..this is epic! made of win and awesome

[oxymoron0207]

super!

[MatrixHacker97]

this is probably going to help me pass my exams

[sterlingrose33]

The comet! That's awesome!

[lillibond]

bellissimo

[Lazyguy22]

Awesome!

Also I'm having fun translating some of the latin on the Tapestry because I'm a nerd.

0:37: This (picture): Duke William ordered the building of ships. Wahey! This is fun!

Nicely done video!

[neek0keek0]

just saying wow!

its so good my history teacher made us see it and write notes Great job!

[elmowillgetu96]

nice thanks helped me with homework

[musictradvideo]

Unfortunatly, Guillaume won, and we had "la guerre de 100 ans" between french and english people

(excuse me for my my english)

I'm not pround for this part of our history

[carmenisla]

I believe the world will be better if normans had conquerer the hole Europe. Our brainch would be reachest- Carmen Isla.

[GreenPuffle92]

2. William's army was stronger. He had better trained soldiers and had the use of a strong cavalry (men on horseback) and archers whereas Harold did not.

3. William's army pretended to flee. Many of Harold's men broke their sheild wall to chase after them but as they did William and his army turned back and slaughtered them.

[mastercheff1216]

Don't forget that Harold's army nearly defeated the Norman army until the Anglo-Saxons got Carried away chased them down the hill and William launched his heavy cavalry and cut them to pieces, probably the biggest mistake Harold made was to not keep them in place.

[sterlingrose33]

@mastercheff1216 Don't forget also that Harold had just run down from the North country where he'd been fighting Danes and he and his men were plain exhausted by the time they got to Hastings

[GreenPuffle92]

Reasons why William the Conqueror Won.

1. William's army had time to rest before the battle. Harold Godwinson's army was tired and they did not have time to prepare properly for the battle. The English army had already fought the Battle of Stamford Bridge that day and had to march quickly down to the battlefield outside Hastings. They marched 50 miles a day!

[GreenPuffle92]

3:55 King Harold gets an arrow shot in his eye.

[GreenPuffle92]

3:55 King Harold gets killed by an arrow in his eye.

[ncford1]

Thanks!

[flquadcamp]

the battle of hastings only lasted 1 day

[nemucciomio87]

WOW!!

[Stantzs]

wow, i never knew the whole thing was so fucking long.

[clmannheimer]

It's like the grown-up version of Redwall...lol.

[gipcambero]

The Normans call themsleves "FRANKS" on the Bayeux Tapestry.

The Bayeux Tapestry was made by NORMANS, not by Anglosaxons.

It was a command from Guillaume himself.

[SpiderDijon2]

The tapestry was commisioned by Bishop Odo, William the Conqueror's brother, but the actual production was done by Anglo-Saxon weavers in England after the conquest.

[Galeande]

True. Eudes, the commisioner, like his brother Guillaume were Normans = French and their message on the tapestry was clear : "Hic Franci Pugnant". ;)

[copyrightisreal]

Outstanding work. Wish I had the knowledge and patience to do this.

[trisbiggs]

Magnificent.

[KT4099]

Love it!! so clever!

[hateskatinglol]

omg boring

[freqeist]

brilliant

[pokemonumbreon1]

note harold never had horses on his side

[Divreja]

wow.. thats just amazing.. great!

[reneecalling]

Excellent learning tool. I had to learn of this pivotal battle through a boring textbook at school. It was dry learning as I had no interest whatsoever in it.

[TINKERMiLLiON]

cool way of learning :) this is teacher qualified, my teacher used it 2 teach us about battle of hastings :)
