Let’s Begin…

William the Conqueror's invasion of England was a historical turning point, memorialized in the Bayeux Tapestry, textbooks and history lectures to this day. With this video from YouTube channel historyteachers, you can learn about the Norman invader William the Conqueror through lyrics set to music from the Justin Timberlake classic of car radios and high school dances everywhere, "Sexyback." 

What is the name of the tapestry that tells the story of the Battle of Hastings?
