Figure 8: <strong>The</strong> Fulford <strong>Tapestry</strong> team. Permission to print this image granted by Charles<br />

Jones, director of <strong>the</strong> Fulford project.<br />

It is designed in <strong>the</strong> style of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bayeux</strong> <strong>Tapestry</strong> in order to link <strong>the</strong> Battle of Fulford<br />

with that at Hastings. It is a reminder that if <strong>the</strong> English had not been defeated at Fulford,<br />

have been very different.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Fulford embroidery starts with <strong>the</strong> Norse l<strong>and</strong>ing at Scarborough,<br />
