King Harold II T-Shirt — Bayeux Tapestry Design
Crowned on 6 January 1066 — the last king of England appointed by the Witan, the ancient Anglo-Saxon council of nobles whose word made kings. Harold Godwinson had earned it. Earl of Wessex, the most powerful lord in England, a man the Confessor trusted and the Witan chose. He would reign for less than a year. This design draws from the Bayeux Tapestry, the great 11th-century embroidery that recorded the Norman Conquest in thread and image — spare, powerful, impossible to look away from. Wear it as a quiet statement of what England was before October changed everything.
