The Bayeux Tapestry, a stunning medieval artwork, has long been a treasure trove of historical mysteries. Now, archaeologists think they’ve cracked another piece of its puzzle—the location of Harold Godwinson’s home, England’s last Anglo-Saxon king.

The 224-foot-long tapestry famously depicts the events leading to the Norman conquest of 1066, including Harold’s death at the Battle of Hastings. But where did Harold live? A team of researchers is confident they’ve found the answer in Bosham, England.

Using a mix of modern tech like ground-penetrating radar and old-school excavation techniques, they pinpointed the site of Harold’s palace. The building, which appears twice in the tapestry, once showed the king feasting in a lavish hall before his fateful journey.

One of the most surprising clues? A medieval toilet. While it might sound odd, latrines were often a feature of elite Anglo-Saxon homes. The site’s proximity to a significant church also helped confirm its royal origins.

“This is a rare chance to connect a place in the tapestry with a real-life location,” said one of the lead researchers.

The team discovered remnants of the medieval estate, including stables, granaries, and kitchens, during earlier digs. While they’ve yet to confirm if certain wooden timbers in the current house date back to Harold’s time, they’re planning further tests this year.

The discovery not only sheds light on Harold’s life but also offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in English history. “It’s like stepping into the past and bringing it to life,” another expert noted.

So, next time you look at the Bayeux Tapestry, remember—it’s not just a beautiful piece of art. It’s a window into a vanished world, and archaeologists are still uncovering its secrets.
