Published on , by La Gazette Drouot

William, Duke of Normandy, set sail to Engin his vast flagship named La Mora on September 27, 1066. He then invaded and conquered England. Now, a historical society from Normandy will recreate that same ship as depicted in the Bayeux tapestry, a 70-meter (229 ft) embroiled account of the Norman conquest. (TheGuardian)
