Embroidering The Truth

Rapacious Bishop Odo (Charlie Anson) meets his match in the Anglo-Saxon former Queen, Edith (Katy Brand). He wants her wealth, she wants to survive. Armed only with a needle she leads a group of women in a bid to outwit their violent Norman oppressors. Her plan? To save her skin and, in the process, to create a masterpiece and a message that will last a thousand years. It is the Bayeux Tapestry.
