However, the story in the tapesty starts years before, and gives the reasons for the invasion. It's the first recorded historical strip cartoon.
By the way, it isn't really a tapestry, which is something that is woven. It's an embroidery. Worth a visit to Bayeux, but I'm sure a good Googling will give you lots more.
