Christopher Monk

Dr. Christopher Monk, also known as the Medieval Monk, is a historian and expert on the Bayeux tapestry. Recently, he attracted attention for proposing that there is a 94th depiction of male genitalia in the tapestry, arguing that a running figure in the border has a visible appendage. Monk's analyses aim to shed light on the nuanced and layered meanings embedded in medieval artworks, drawing attention to the sophistication of medieval culture.
