The funeral procession taking the body of King Edward the Confessor (d. 1066) to Westminster Abbey, as depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry. The Latin inscription at the top says: Hic portatur corpus Edwardi regis ad ecclesiam sancti Petri ('here is carried the body of King Edward to the church of St Peter the apostle') since the church of Westminster abbey was dedicated to St Peter.  The Bayeux Tapestry depicts some 50 scenes from the conquest of England by Duke William of Normandy in 1066, after King Edward died without an heir.  It was probably commissioned by Bishop Odo, Duke William's half-brother, and likely embroidered by a group of women in England, even though the tapestry is today located in the Norman city of Bayeux (France).

The Bayeux Tapestry or Bayeux Embroidery is an embroidered cloth nearly 70 metres (230 ft) long and 50 centimetres (20 in) tall, which depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England concerning William, Duke of Normandy, and Harold, Earl of Wessex, later King of England, and culminating in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
