                  <text>This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.</text>

                <text>This article from &lt;em&gt;The West Australian&lt;/em&gt; in 1937 reports on a number of new knighthoods awarded as part of the King&amp;rsquo;s Coronation Honours. For the first time, the article informs readers, the recipients were &amp;lsquo;dubbed&amp;rsquo; by the Governor-General, Lord Gowrie, at Parliament House during a &amp;lsquo;ceremony of medieval pageantry&amp;rsquo;. The ceremony was undertaken with the permission of the King, who was traditionally the only figure with the authority to confer honours with a sword. The act of dubbing involves a light blow to the shoulders of a kneeling recipient with the flat side of a sword. Dubbing is an essential part of the public investiture ceremony and dates to the medieval period.</text>

                <text>This photograph is of one of the coat of arms on the verandah of Government House in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. It features two lions covered in fleurs-de-lis, an emblem that became very popular during the medieval period and is most commonly associated with France. Above the shield between the lions is a hand holding a broken spear, The Latin motto Respiciens Prospiciens translates as â€˜without maliceâ€™. The motto and broken spear suggest that this is the coat of arms of Baron (Hallam) Tennyson, son of the poet Alfred, who became the second Governor-General of Australia.&#13;
&#13;
Government House was designed by the English architect Edward Blore and supervised by the Colonial Architect Mortimer Lewis. The House is in Gothic Revival style and resembles a castle, complementing the earlier castle-inspired stables (Greenway Building). The building, completed in 1845, is highly decorative and features extensive crenellation, turrets, towers, stained glass, and tracery.  </text>
