Loki will tell anyone who will listen that he was actually there and saw the whole thing but actually he was hiding behind a horse and saw nothing.

Someone's going to have to rewrite quite a few of those #BattleOfHastings history books... Thank you so much to Loki (and amazing author @louiestowell.bsky.social) for this submission to our #BayeuxTapestry archiving project (and a great story sent in to tinyurl.com/UoLTapestry too). 😀🙏 #UoLTapestry

So, Loki found this image on Wikipedia and it had missed him off, so he added himself back in... #UoLTapestry

My #UoLTapestry #BayeuxTapestry story for the archive: My favourite part of the Tapestry is the episode at the Mont Saint-Michel, when Harold Godwinson rescues William's men from the quicksand. This summer, I retraced their footsteps by the Couesnon River, to experience the quicksand for myself. 1/2

#UoLTapestry 2/2 Our guide showed us how to paddle our feet to 'awaken' the quicksand. It was obvious how the tramping feet of William of Normandy's soldiers would have done just that. It's technically impossible to sink in quicksand - but deadly with heavy armour/weapons and the tide rushing in...

Loki is feeling salty on the anniversary of the battle of hastings #UoLTapestry
A four panel comic strip in a simple doodly style featuring Loki from the A Bad God's Guide series that I write and draw. He's getting increasingly angry about his omission from the tapestry. PANEL ONE: Loki, drawn in a shade of red that recalls the tapestry itself, says, "I was actually at the Battle of Hastings". PANEL TWO: Loki goes on to say, "But did they put me in the tapestry?" PANEL THREE: Loki screws up his eyes and yells, "NO!" PANEL FOUR: Loki, against the backdrop of a quickly drawn British museum with a queue outside, says, "I can't even get tickets to see it at the British Museum!"

Avant d’être ennemis, ils étaient amis… La bromance méconnue de Guillaume le Conquérant et Harold
Avant de s’affronter à Hastings en 1066, Guillaume de Normandie et Harold Godwinson furent alliés et compagnons d’armes. La tapisserie de Bayeux raconte aussi cette étonnante histoire d’amitié.
