Under the words HAROLD REX INTERFECTUS EST – here King Harold is killed – the embroiderers set two figures. One stands with a shaft at his eye; a few steps on, another is cut down by a horseman’s sword. Which of them is Harold has long been argued over, and the arrow may owe something to nineteenth-century repairs. What is not in doubt is the place of the scene in the story. That spring, on the same embroidery, men had pointed at a comet in the sky. Here the omen is fulfilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe last of a series of three: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bayeux-tapestry-halleys-comet-1066-mug\"\u003ethe comet of 1066\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bayeux-tapestry-the-norman-charge-at-hastings-1066-porcelain-art-mug\"\u003ethe Norman charge at Hastings\u003c\/a\u003e, and the death of Harold.
