Description An account of the resource <p>The Order of St Thomas of Acre was re-established in 2005 and is dedicated to both St Thomas of Acre and St Thomas of Canterbury. The original Hospitaller&rsquo;s of St Thomas of Canterbury at Acre were founded by King Richard I (the Lionheart) of England (1157-1199) in Acre in 1190 while he was on the third crusade. They were later re-organised into a military order during the fifth crusade. It is usually referred to as the Knights of St Thomas. Membership was restricted to Englishmen. The Knights of St Thomas were dissolved by Henry VIII (1491-1547) in 1538. The current Order has adopted the habit of the original &ndash; a white mantle with a red cross with a scallop shell at its centre. The Order of St Thomas of Acre are an &lsquo;ecumenical society concerned with fostering of the values of traditional chivalry&rsquo;, and their website includes a &lsquo;Chivalric Code&rsquo;. The inclusion on the website of a section on the stained glass windows at St Thomas&rsquo; Anglican Church in the Victorian town of Werribee suggests that someone from the town leads the order.</p> <p>St Thomas of Canterbury (Thomas Becket) (1118-1170) was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury by Henry II (1133-1189) of England, father of Richard I. After a series of disputes with Henry he was martyred in Canterbury Cathedral by the king&rsquo;s followers.</p> <p>For their website see <a href="http://www.osta.org.au/Welcome.htm">http://www.osta.org.au/Welcome.htm</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource The Order of St Thomas of Acre Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource The Order of St Thomas of Acre Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Website Anglican chivalric code chivalry Crusader Crusades Henry II Henry VIII hospitaller Hospitaller’s of St Thomas of Canterbury at Acre knight Knights of St Thomas Military Order re-creation Richard I Richard the Lionheart St Thomas Becket St Thomas of Canterbury The Order of St Thomas of Acre Vic Victoria website Werribee. https://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/files/original/the-perth-gazette-and-west-australian-times_21-october-1864_p2_cc1adb51f6.pdf e5a190ba766f6b1aece6dc41d5701890 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Medievalism at the Foundations Description An account of the resource This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed ‘in plain view’ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australia’s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australia’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.

Title A name given to the resource Post Office Orders Subject The topic of the resource Bank, business, colony, commerce, commercialisation, Executive, Governor John Stephen Hampton, Henry VIII, legislation, mail, mail carts, “medieval condition”, medieval condition, monetary orders, money, Perth, post office, Western Australia. Description An account of the resource In the second half of this article, the author draws attention to the positive response with which a plan to establish a system of post office orders in the Western Australian colony had been met. After conceding that there were two or three members of the Executive who opposed the plan on the grounds that it would be dangerous to transport cash on mail-carts, the author goes on to suggest that the real source of the opposition was the W. A. Bank, who did not want to relinquish monopoly on all financial and monetary matters in Western Australia. The author concludes that the proposed system is sorely needed to bring Western Australia into line with the other colonies for the purpose of conducting business, and denounces opposition by negatively linking it to a desire to dwell in the pre-modern past: “is the colony always to be kept in a medieval condition by men whose notions appear to be regulated by those which prevailed in the time of Henry the Eighth?” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anon.

Subject The topic of the resource Agincourt, cello, Crecy, export, gut, Hampton Court, harp, Henry VIII, lute, medieval craft, medieval production, music strings, musical instrument, sheep, tennis racquet, violin Description An account of the resource In this Western Mail article about Britain’s export of five million yards of musical instrument strings each year, Australia is identified as the top destination for harp strings. In contrast, the article singles out South Africa as preferring fretted instruments and New Zealand the cello. The article goes on to explain that while modern strings could be made from gut, silk, steel or metal wire, the making of strings was a craftsman’s job dating from the gut strings of medieval instruments, weaponry and recreational equipment: ‘As far as gut goes, the British tradition runs back to the medieval lute, the bows used at Crecy and Agincourt, and the racquet with which Henry VIII played “real” tennis at Hampton Court’. Following a definition of “gut” as the strong membranes from the insides of sheep and a comment on the skill of British craftsmen in making strings for unusual as well as standard musical instruments, the focus returns to the harp at the end of the article. It suggests that making harp strings was a particularly difficult job because a harp has six octaves, and each string has to be chosen separately.
