Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
One effect of the Conquest was to bring the people of England and Normandy into closer alliance than before.
On the first occasion on which William returned to Normandy, after the battle of Hastings, he took with him, in honourable attendance, a considerable number of the Saxon nobles,b who were doubtless accompanied by their wives and daughters.
Assisted by English ladies, as well as by those of her own court, Matilda, the wife of the Conqueror, probably at this time constructed the Tapestry which for many ages was preserved in the Cathedral of Bayeux.
Never, perhaps, was so important a document written in worsted.
