Some general sites about the history of tapestry. I found all of these by typing 'history tapestry' into Google.

This site has a lot of good links. It is interesting to note that technically, the Bayeux Tapestry is not a tapestry at all!

It is generally agreed that Bishop Odo was the architect who commissioned the Bayeux Tapestry. It was designed and constructed reasonably soon after the battle in 1066. It was made without any shadow of doubt to celebrate and record for posterity the events leading up to the battle and its aftermath.
Try the links, have a pleasant day.
