who asked for the bayeux tapestry to be made?
bishop odo
according to sylvette lemagnen, conservator of the tapestry, in her 2005 book "la tapisserie de bayeux":





















































the cloth consists of some seventy scenes, many with latin "tituli", embroidered on linen with coloured woollen yarns. it is likely that it was commissioned by bishop odo, william's half-brother, and made in england—not bayeux—in the 1070s. in 1729 the hanging was rediscovered by scholars at a time when it was being displayed annually in bayeux cathedral. the tapestry is now exhibited at the musée de la tapisserie de bayeux in bayeux, normandy, france
