It's a silly headline. The Bayeux Tapestry is in the Bayeux Cathedral in Bayeux, Normandy, where William the Conqueror was Duke before and after he became King of England. The Bayeux cathedral was actually consecrated by William in 1077. If anything the tapestry was made for the Duke of Normandy, his subjects, and his descendants. Not to mention the obvious point that I don't think the Normans of the later 11th century would consider themselves "French".
