This interesting 14th century tapestry captures the events of the European Migration Period when the Gauls, Celts, and Black-a-Moors of Europe (a single African people) lost the effort in defending their villages, towns, and way of life in Italy, Spain, England, France, Germany, to the Italic, Franco-German, & Slavic peoples who replaced them and at the time attacked with rocks and clubs. It is a surprise to see that it was the Moors (notice their head bands!) who were portray- ed as the first Strasborgs and bore the royal names!
