    For anybody wondering what this is about... It’s a newspaper article about a famous old artwork coming back to London from France for the first time in 950 years, with some musing about how history gets distorted over time (history is written by the winners and all that).

    A lot of articles in the British press about this at the moment, due to it having travelled to London.

    If you desire accompaniment whilst you study the Tapestry, and/or a bullet list of early modern and medieval history, may I recommend the bardcore stylings of Friar Funk and Hildegard von Blingin: https://youtu.be/drDs-Y5DNH8?is=mVqtUdKX9GwNWCqY

      TIL: bardcore is a music genre. Thank you.
