                <text>&lt;p&gt;Ancient Arts Fellowship, Inc. is a medieval re-enactment group based in Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory. They focus on the &amp;lsquo;Dark Ages&amp;rsquo;, or early medieval period, especially the 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century through to the Norman invasion of England in 1066 (images about this event from the Bayeux tapestry are featured on their website). Geographically the focus is on northern Europe and Britain, featuring such peoples as Anglo-Saxons, Normans, and Vikings. Members participate in combat, arts and crafts, and food, with their website claiming that you can &amp;lsquo;feast on food that William the Conqueror [c. 1028-1087] would have eaten&amp;rsquo;. The group run educational classes for school groups and do public performances.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>Birka Traders was the online store created by Peter Beatson to sell his medieval metalwork. The collection included mainly jewellery and personal items such as belt buckles and strap ends, and focussed on the early medieval period, particularly the Viking Age. The items were based on actual archaeological finds. The store closed in January 2011.&#13;
&#13;
Birka was the main trading centre/market place in Sweden visited by international merchants between c. 760 and 960.</text>

                  <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>&lt;span&gt;Signet ring made from 18 carat gold. The face of the ring is impressed with a lion rampant holding a compass. In a scroll below is the latin motto 'MARTE ET ARTE' [By war and arts]. These words are impressed in the reverse to enable the ring to be used as a seal. The inner band of the ring is stamped with a maker's mark and the carat. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; John Monash GCMG, KCB (1865-1931) was born in West Melbourne and died in&lt;span&gt; 1931 in Melbourne.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt; Of Prussian Jewish heritage, he participated in the landing at Anzac Cover Gallipoli and assumed command of the Australian Corps in May 1918. He was a key strategist in the campaigns in France and served and commanded troops in Gallipoli.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Entry on Australian War Memorial website:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;John Monash was born in Melbourne on 27 June 1865. He was dux of Scotch College and studied arts and engineering at Melbourne University, where he was also involved in debating and student politics. Outside of university he dabbled in acting. In 1884 he joined the university company of the 4th Battalion, Victorian Rifles. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Monash worked on the construction of the Princes Bridge in Melbourne and in 1888 was placed in charge of constructing a new railway even though he had yet to complete his degree. Monash married Hannah Moss in April 1891. He finished his studies in 1895 and, having decided to combine engineering with a military career, was promoted to captain in the Garrison Artillery that year. In 1897 Monash was promoted to major in the North Melbourne Battery and served there for 11 years. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Meanwhile, he and a friend had established a private engineering practice in 1894. The business grew steadily but a series of setbacks left him with large debts in 1902. Starting again, Monash recovered and became wealthy. He also gained promotion to lieutenant colonel in the Australian Intelligence Corps in 1908. Now prospering in business and the Army, in 1913 Colonel Monash took command of the 13th Infantry Brigade. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; After the outbreak of war, Monash took command of the AIF's 4th Infantry Brigade, landing at Gallipoli on 26 April 1915. In July he was promoted to brigadier. Monash took his brigade to France in June 1916. He became a major general in July and took command of the 3rd Division. The division's first major battle, Messines, was hailed as a great success. Further success followed and in May 1918, Monash was promoted to lieutenant general and given command of the Australian Corps. His first battle in this role, Hamel, came to be considered the 'perfect battle'. Monash remained in command through the victorious battles in the last months of the war. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; After spending eight months in London overseeing the repatriation of the AIF, Monash was welcomed home in Melbourne by an enthusiastic public on Boxing Day 1919. He returned to business and in 1920 became manager of Victoria's State Electricity Commission. An advocate for returned soldiers, Monash also held a range of high-level positions. His opinions were widely sought and he became a leading figure in Melbourne's Jewish community. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Monash was promoted to general in November 1929. He died of heart disease in Melbourne on 8 October 1931 and was given a state funeral attended by some 250,000 mourners. '&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&#13;
