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.

Description
An account of the resource
This website advertises a range of Knights Templar garb and weaponry that has been designed with the guidance of ‘The Knights Templar’, a Brisbane-based re-enactment society. The Knights Templar formed what was arguably the most powerful and well-known of the Christian military orders in the medieval period. The order was endorsed by the Catholic Church in the early twelfth century and was particularly active during the Crusades. The clothing adopted by the Templar Knights was distinctive, consisting of a white surcoat with a red cross. Most of this ‘war gear’ is visually self-explanatory, thanks to films such as The Kingdom of Heaven (2003), which depicts crusading knights playing politics and fighting Saladin in the Holy Land. The Esford online catalogue promotes their version of the Templar sword, dagger, helmet, gambeson, surcoat, and hooded cloak. The purpose of the surcoat was initially to protect the wearer from the sun, although the practice was quickly adopted elsewhere, even in the northern lands where the climate did not warrant such precautions (See Mark Cruse, ‘Material Culture’ in Albrecht Classen, ed. Handbook of Medieval Studies: Terms, Methods, Trends, Vol. 1., Berlin, De Gruyter, 2010, p.841). Curiously, there are two essential items missing from the Templar’s equipment: a mail coat and a red cross emblazoned triangular shield.

Description
An account of the resource
The Wolf Letters, released in May 2011, is a debut historical thriller from Perth novelist Will Schaefer. The plot is a mystery that revolves around a stolen historical artefact (a wolf carved in jet) and two eighth-century letters found at the scene of a murder in Southern England, 1936. The setting for the novel oscillates between 1936 and the eighth century. According to the author, the story was inspired ‘by the real-life adventures of Winfrith, the seventh/eighth century Englishman better known as St Boniface’.

Description
An account of the resource
An article by Dylan Welch in The Sydney Morning Herald about the Knights Templar in Australia. The article briefly outlines the origins of the order in the early twelfth century as protectors of Christian pilgrims to Jerusalem, and its disbandment in the early fourteenth. The order has since been revived and now also operates in Australia, combining Christian charity work with instruction in swordplay and a French form of kickboxing. The article interviews two Australian members of the Templar’s, Paul O’Sullivan and Paul Grice. It is noted that the modern knights have little in common with those featured in Dan Brown’s novel ‘The Da Vinci Code’. Instead, they are described as a ‘modern-day esoteric knighthood’.

Description
An account of the resource
A highly romanticised article on page 46 of the Brisbane newspaper The Queenslander on 17 May, 1934. The article reports on a male Viking warrior grave uncovered in Sweden. Among the various grave-goods found was a sword made in England. This leads the author to create a highly speculative account of a Viking raid on England and the sword being ‘taken from the dead hand of one who fell defending his home’. Other goods found accompanying this member of the ‘sea wolves’ included a horse, dog, a possible slave, gaming pieces and a possible slave. The article also mentions the ‘savage gods’ that the man was likely to worship and his preference to die abroad in battle. The article is a good example of the romantic speculation that the Vikings seem to encourage.

Description
An account of the resource
In this review of Jeffery Farnol’s historical romance “The King Liveth”, the novel is recommended to readers who appreciate the “picturesque recreation of the England of those far off [Anglo-Saxon] days”. Set in the ninth-century and culminating in the Battle of Ethundane (Edington) in 878, the reviewer claims that this tale of Alfred the Great is based on evidence from chronicles. This most likely refers to the “Anglo-Saxon Chronicle”, and perhaps Asser’s “Life of Alfred”, both written during Alfred’s reign. After being forced to flee to the marshes around Athelney following the invasion of the Viking great army led by Guthrum (where the burning of the cakes episode mentioned by the reviewer supposedly happened), Alfred was able to rally an army and defeat the Vikings. The survivors fled to Chippenham but following a two-week siege they asked for a treaty. A peace treaty followed by which Guthrum and his leading supporters were baptised and the following year they settled East Anglia (part of the ‘Danelaw’), where Guthrum reigned until 890.<br /> <br /> For a copy of the book’s cover and the dust jacket summary, see: <a href="http://newportvintagebooks.com/gallery/farnol/pages/Far_KingLiveth_UK.htm" target="_blank">http://newportvintagebooks.com/gallery/farnol/pages/Far_KingLiveth_UK.htm</a>.<br /> <br /> For more on Alfred, see Patrick Wormald, ‘Alfred (848/9–899)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; [<a href="http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/183" target="_blank">http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/183</a>, accessed 15 June 2011].

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.

<p>Image of the Jeanne d’Arc bronze statue at the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne. The statue is the work of French sculptor Emmanuel Frémiet, and is a cast of the 1899 version of his Jeanne d’Arc which stands in the Place des Pyramides in Paris. Purchased in 1906 by Bernard Hall, the Director of the National Gallery of Victoria, with funds from the Felton Bequest, it was installed at the entrance to the State Library of Victoria on 4 February 1907. The sculpture depicts the young Joan of Arc astride a war-horse, dressed in her body-armour and raising an oriflamme banner.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About Joan of Arc:</span><br /> Joan of Arc was born in 1412 in the French village of Domrémy. From the age of about 12, Joan had visions of saints and heard heavenly voices that increasingly urged her to fight for France during the Hundred Years’ War. She travelled to the court of Charles De Ponthieu, the Orléanist claimant to the throne, where she was provided with a suit of armour and her distinctive banner depicting a golden fleur-de-lys. She secured a decisive military victory to rescue the city of Orléans from the Earl of Salisbury’s English army in 1429, and was present at the coronation of Charles VII. However, in May the following year Joan was captured by Burgundian forces at Compiègne, and was handed over to the English. She was tried at Rouen on charges of witchcraft and heresy, and was condemned to death. On 30 May 1431, she was executed. Two and a half decades later, the case was appealed and her conviction was overturned. She was beatified in 1909 and canonised as a saint in 1920.</p>
<p>For more information about this statue and its background, see Ted Gott, ‘An Iron Maiden for Melbourne – The History and Context of Emmanuel Frémiet’s 1906 Cast of Jeanne d’Arc’, The La Trobe Journal, vol.81, Autumn 2008, pp.53-68: <a href="http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t5.html" target="_blank">http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t5.html</a>.</p>

From the age of about 12, Joan had visions of saints and heard heavenly voices that increasingly urged her to fight for France during the Hundred Years’ War. She travelled to the court of Charles De Ponthieu, the Orléanist claimant to the throne, where she was provided with a suit of armour and her distinctive banner depicting a golden fleur-de-lys. She secured a decisive military victory to rescue the city of Orléans from the Earl of Salisbury’s English army in 1429, and was present at the coronation of Charles VII. However, in May the following year Joan was captured by Burgundian forces at Compiègne, and was handed over to the English. She was tried at Rouen on charges of witchcraft and heresy, and was condemned to death. On 30 May 1431, she was executed. Two and a half decades later, the case was appealed and her conviction was overturned. She was beatified in 1909 and canonised as a saint in 1920.</p>
