The Paint files in this folder were mainly taken
on October 14th, 1995, at Battle Abbey in East
Sussex.
On that day there was a re-enactment of the Battle
of Hastings.
1 - the Saxons enter the field of battle.
Notice the shape of their shields and the
weapons that are carried.
Look at the figure in the top left of the
photograph - an example of the similarities
between Norman and Saxon dress.
2 - training.
Notice the axe carried by the far figure.
3 - a Norman priest blesses soldiers.
How are the kneeling figures armed ?
4 - Normans on horseback.
Remember, the Saxon knights rode to battle and
then dismounted to fight.
The Normans fought from horseback.
5 - as 4.
The banner carried here is the papal banner,
presented to William. The banner is a gold
cross on white.
6 - one of the Normans preparing for battle.
In the background you can see Senlac Ridge and
Battle Abbey.
7 - the Normans enter the field of battle.
Notice the way they are dressed and the arms
that they carry.
8 - Normans on horseback.
9 - as 6.
10 - battle preparations.
11 - as 10.
12 - the shield wall on top of Senlac Ridge.
13 - as 10.
14 - a casualty of war.
15 - title screen from tv programme.
Pupils can use these Paint images to create their
own 'tv' or Genesis presentation about the battle.
These images are useful when compared to
contemporary sources about the battle.
death
dress....are all images from the Bayeux Tapestry
and compare well with the battle re-enactment
files.
death - an example of the horrors of the battle.
dress - a Norman knight on horseback.
Does this compare to the re-enactment ?
Bayeux Tapestry images can be used in a DTP
package to create a newspaper report on the battle.
