1 8 3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. 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 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.

Title A name given to the resource Stairwell window at â€˜Glenferrie,â€™ Malvern, Victoria Subject The topic of the resource Australiana, blazon, coat-of-arms, colonialism, Emu, Ferguson & Urie, Fergusson coat-of-arms, Glenferrie, James Fergusson, Kangaroo, Malvern, medieval design, rose, shamrock, Stained Glass, symbolism, thistle, VIC, Victoria Description An account of the resource This commanding stairwell window by Ferguson & Urie (1872) is calculated to reflect the prosperity and good fortune of the original owner, James Fergusson. Fergusson was a Melbourne manufacturing stationer, and was at times a member of the Legislative assembly and Shire President. The window was probably installed shortly after he moved into â€˜Glenferrieâ€™ in 1872 and remained there, long after Fergusson died in 1888, until the house was demolished in 1954. The window comprises three large central lights, the innermost of which contains the Fergusson Coat-of-Arms, and three smaller top lights, each containing specifically Australian motifs (Kangaroo, Colonial Coat-of Arms, and an Emu). The â€˜diaperedâ€™ octagonal background quarries feature a rose, shamrock, and thistle pattern that is stylistically â€˜medieval,â€™ signifying a link to the British Isles. Hand painted scenes in the (lower) main tier of panels depict relevant features of the burgeoning economy, which are related to trade, productivity, and the exploitation of natural resources.

The author describes the mace used in the Victorian Legislative Assembly as a sceptre surmounted by a cross, an orb and the crown of England. It is also decorated with the waratah flower of Australia, the rose of England, the thistle of Scotland and the harp of Ireland. The symbolic and ceremonial function of the mace in the opening and closing of parliamentary proceedings is explained, and the history of the mace as a weapon of medieval warfare is noted. The article suggests that the association of the mace with parliament is likely to originate from the medieval period: â€œIn medieval England the king appointed a Royal bodyguard of stalwart men, gaudily uniformed, and each bearing a mace. They came to be known as serjeants-at-arms. When Parliament was divided into two Houses â€“ the Commons and the Lords â€“ two serjeants-at-arms were provided from the Kingâ€™s bodyguard. The institution has survived. With the serjeant-at-arms has remained the mace, not as a weapon but as a symbol of office; and gradually the mace came to be associated with all the ceremonies and customs of the Commonsâ€. The article goes on to explain the traditional rivalry between the House of Commons and the House of Lords concerning the superior authority of the mace or its equivalent in the House of lords, the black rod (in the keeping of The Usher of the Black Rod). Traditional and symbolic rituals involving the mace and the black rod are also described. If the Usher of the Black Rod approaches the House of Commons to summon the Speaker, for example, the door is ceremoniously closed on him and he is required to knock three times and beg admittance. Similarly, the serjeant-at-arms is not permitted to enter the House of Lords without first surrendering the mace to the doorkeeper.

Title A name given to the resource The Order of the Thistle Subject The topic of the resource Battle, Battle of Largs, Hebrides, heraldry, King Alexander III of Scotland (1241-1286), King Haakon of Norway, King James II of England, King James VII of Scotland, Largs, medieval Scotland, national emblem, Norway, order of knighthood, Order of the Thistle, Scotland, St Andrew, thistle Description An account of the resource Explaining the establishment of "The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle” in 1687, this article from the Western Argus first discusses the medieval adoption of the thistle as Scotland’s national emblem. This it dates to the Battle of Largs fought between the Scottish army of Alexander III and the Norwegian army of King Haakon IV in 1263. In an ongoing battle over the territory of the Hebrides, King Haakon of Norway landed on Scottish shores and planned a night attack on the Scottish camp. However, one of his horsemen stepped on a thistle and cried out in pain, giving them away. The article suggests that the Scots adopted the thistle as their national emblem in remembrance of the Battle of Largs. It then links this to the thistle as the emblem of “The Order of the Thistle”, an order of knighthood founded by King James II of England (also King James VII of Scotland) in 1687. The article incorrectly identifies the King of Scotland at the time of the Battle of Largs as Alexander II. King Alexander II had died and was succeeded by his young son, Alexander III, in 1249. Alexander III assumed full powers in 1259 and ruled until his own death in 1286. For more on Alexander III, see Norman H.
