  HAROLD SACRAMENTUM FECIT WILLELMO DUCI ("Harold made an oath to Duke William"). (Bayeux Tapestry) This scene is stated in the previous scene on the Tapestry to have taken place at Bagia (Bayeux, probably in Bayeux Cathedral). It shows Earl Harold touching two altars with the enthroned Duke looking on. It is believed to represent Harold acknowledging William as his overlord for the territory of the Kingdom of England, which relationship he broke by having himself crowned King. It is thus central to the Norman conquest of England
