The Bayeux Tapestry

">



Dear Mother,
I am fighting the Normans. I am trying to kill King William because he wants the throne of England. He shouldn't have it. He's a Norman. He thinks he should have it because he is married to the princess. He made Harold swear to let him be the King but it was a trick.

Love Edgar


Dear Mom,
I write in bad troubled times. The King (Sir William) has ordered us to sea. We are going into hell tomorrow. So starts the battle. I pray you are safe as I write. I love you Mom. It is said the King was insulted by the English King!

--Later--

Victory! We won the battle. It was won before it started. We attacked the enemy. The King killed the English King. We were attacked from every side. 100 men were killed that day. I thank you Mom. Your last letter helped me through this. I love you Mother. I hope I will come home soon.

Love Alec.
