In addition to its status as a textile, the Bayeux Tapestry serves as an important source of information about the Norman Invasion of England. It contains a sequential arrangement of images that tells the story of the events leading up to the invasion and the eventual victory at the Battle of Hastings of William the Conqueror. However, calling into question the tapestry's authority as an objective report of contemporary history is the supposition that the tapestry was commissioned by William's half-brother and thus tells the story of the event from a Norman perspective. Crucial information about some of the events depicted seems to have been omitted from the embroidery. It is possible the Bayeux Tapestry colored contemporary public perception of the event because at the time, the majority of people were illiterate and could only read about the invasion in pictorial format.
Which of the following statements is most similar to the one underlying the author's reasoning regarding the authority of the Bayeux Tapestry?
