Amazon: Byzantium A Short History of Byzantium by John Julius Norwich	Pulcheria
	*Sailing from Byzantium, by Colin Wells, could have been a very dry history about the influences of the Byzantine Empire on Western Europe, the Slavic world and in particularly on Russia, and on Moslem civilization. Instead, the author made it readable by inserting anecdotes about movers and shakers from a time about which we know too little. Nancy*

	The genealogies at the beginning of 1066 are worth the price of admission. However, the book is subtitled The Hidden History In The Bayeux Tapestry, and that priceless treasure is the focal point. Author Andrew Bridgeford analyses la Tapisserie de la Reine Matilde, aka the Bayeux Tapestry, in great detail. It was not made by Queen Matilda, but it does throw considerable light on a time that changed history, the Norman Conquest of England Nancy
