It's an animation of the Bayeux Tapestry--In 1066, Harold is crowned king of England and sends messengers to this effect to France. William is upset at Harold's betrayal. William builds a fleet of ships, sails to England, builds a castle, burns the countryside, and marches to meet Harold in battle. Harold and his brother both die. The Normans triumph, and William the Conqueror becomes King of England.
Not precisely--they actually animated the figures of the tapestry to show trees being chopped, sails billowing, horses running, and so forth. The narration is words displayed in the blank spaces.
