Title A name given to the resource Viking Valour Subject The topic of the resource Beserker, fiction, Samuel Hirsdon, Norseman, pagan, Perth, short story, Sunday Times, Viking, WA, Western Australia Description An account of the resource A story by Samuel Hirsdon in the ‘3 Short Stories for Week-End Reading’ section of the Perth newspaper the Sunday Times on October 29, 1939. The story is about a group of Norsemen at sea (led by the curiously named Sir Ranulf, which does not sound particularly Norse) who accidently land in North America. The lone woman in the group is kidnapped by native ‘savages’ and later rescued by a mysterious Viking Beserker named Brand after he kills a number of her captors with his bare hands. Beserkers are found in Old Norse poetry and sagas and appear to have been people who were particularly ferocious fighters and wore bear skins into battle.

Title A name given to the resource 'The Viking': A film review in the ‘Camperdown Chronicle’ Subject The topic of the resource Camperdown, Camperdown Chronicle, cinema, Erik the Red, Lief Eriksson, film, films, review, film review, Greenland, Helga, Norseman, pagan, Thorhild, VIC, Victoria, Viking Description An account of the resource A film review in the ‘Camperdown Chronicle’ on August 24, 1929 for ‘The Viking’. The review is featured in the ‘Camperdown Theatre: Tonight’s Pictures’ section on page 5. Unlike other reviews of the film, this one focuses on the main actors (for example, ’Pauline Starke dyed her Titian hair to appear’) and characters (Leif Eriksson and Helga, Erik the Red, his wife Thorhild) rather than the ships and costumes. Erik the Red is described as ‘the pagan ruler of Greenland’, while the supporting cast who play ‘the Viking types of Norsemen’ manage to create ‘an appearance as of a lost tribe brought back to life’. This is one of many reviews (some of the others can also be found on the ‘Medievalism on the Page’ section of this website – see Viking Memories and The Viking) which appeared in newspapers around Australia for what was evidently a very popular film.

Title A name given to the resource Medievalism on the Streets Description An account of the resource This Collection analyses popular medievalism in material and public culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on popular medievalist theatre, parades and public spectacles, as well as recreational, literary and political associations. It explores the ways in which medievalism was not simply derivative but also local and disctinctive. In this Collection you will find items relating to medievalism in public contexts and popular culture, and the revisitation or reenactment of the Middle Ages by groups such as the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Being re-enacted on the float, the banner suggests, was the trial of Caractacus before the Roman Emperor. Caractacus was a chieftain of the British Catuvellauni tribe who, with his brother Togodumnus (until he was killed in battle), led the resistance to Roman Conquest in the first century AD. Following Claudius&rsquo; successful invasion of Britain in 43AD, Caractacus went into exile. He was imprisoned years later by Cartimandua in Wales and handed over to the Romans, who sentenced him to execution. Caractacus was allowed to address the Roman Senate before his execution and is reputed to have made such an impression on Emperor Claudius that he was pardoned and permitted to live peacefully in Rome. The Roman invasion of Britain sought to stamp out druidism. However, there is some evidence that <span class="il">druids</span>, or members of the priestly class in Celtic society, continued to exist in Ireland at least throughout the early medieval period (See for example, Philip Freeman, "<span class="il">Druids</span>" in The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece and Rome, Michael Gagarin (ed.), Oxford University Press, 2010, &lt;<a href="http://www.oxford-greecerome.com/entry?entry=t294.e401" target="_blank">http://www.oxford-greecerome.com/entry?entry=t294.e401</a>&gt;, Accessed 6 May 2011).
