The extended Bayeux Tapestry in Norwich castle tells the story of Emma De Gauder. She was a noble woman who held Norwich castle against the King and she was only sixteen years old. She even held the castle for three months and also negotiated her safe passage. This was connected to what was known as the “Revolt of the Earls” and Emma and her husband Ralph De Gauder were an integral part of this. To find out more, please select the following links:
