The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Bayeux Tapestry
Final Jeopardy Explanation – Thursday, January 12 2023
The Bayeux Tapestry is known in French as the La Tapisserie de la Reine Mathilde, which translates to “The Tapestry of Queen Matilda”. This is because, according to a French legend, the tapestry was ordered and created by Queen Matilda, the Conqueror’s wife, and her ladies-in-waiting.
The events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, which was led by William, Duke of Normandy’s challenge to Harold II, King of England, and culminated in the Battle of Hastings, are depicted in the tapestry.
It is an embroidered object that is 50 centimetres (20 in) tall and almost 70 metres (230 ft) long made several years after the battle, and thought to be from the eleventh century.
Even though it tells the story from the perspective of the Norman invaders, it is now widely accepted that it was created in England.
