Title A name given to the resource A Viking's Sword Subject The topic of the resource Brisbane, burial, England, Norseman, The Queenslander, raiding, ship, ships, swords, sword, QLD, Queensland, sacrifice, Sweden, Viking, warfare, war, battle, battles, weapon, weapons, weaponry 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. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anon.

Title A name given to the resource Viking Trade City Subject The topic of the resource Brisbane, Brisbane Courier, burial, Denmark, Germany, Hedeby, QLD, Queensland, ship, tourism, trade, trading, ships, Viking, vikings Description An account of the resource An article on page 8 of the Brisbane Courier newspaper on December 29, 1930. The article reports on the forthcoming excavations of the main Viking trading centre of the ninth to eleventh centuries, Hedeby. The site is now in northern Germany in South Slesvig, but belonged to Denmark during the Viking Age. The excavation was prompted by the discovery of two burials and a 60ft ship, as well as defensive banks. The article notes that there was much interest in the excavation, and this presumably extended to the newspaper readers in Brisbane. Today Hedeby is a major tourist attraction and includes a museum, a recreation of part of the town, and fully reconstructed defensive banks.

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.

Title A name given to the resource The Viking Battle Ship Subject The topic of the resource Viking, vikings, armour, Brisbane, Brisbane Courier, church, clothing, fete, fête, St. Paul’s church, parade, QLD, Queensland, recreation, saga, sword, swords, battle, battles, ships, ship, weapons, weapon, weaponry Description An account of the resource An article on page 4 of the Brisbane Courier newspaper on July 10, 1908. The article is about the decision to make a Viking battleship (in other articles about the event it is referred to as a Viking Dragon Ship) the centre-piece of a church fête. The decision was made by the workers of St. Paul’s church, Leichhardt Street, in Brisbane. The article notes that as Vikings collected ransom from those whom they raided, the ‘modern imitators of that great race of people’ would also demand ransom, but it would be used for a good cause. Entertainment at the fête included sagas, which were perhaps excerpts from sagas about the Vikings written in Iceland in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It is also reported that there was a street parade the night before the fête which featured a band of modern Vikings led by a Jarl (Old Norse for Earl) wearing ‘skyrtas and kyrtils [Old Norse for shirts and tunic/gowns], and ring armour, and armed with swords and battle axes’. The use of Viking terminology is an unusual feature of this article. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anon.

The article also manages to mention the Norse god Thor, noting that it was fortunate the his hammer did not ‘descend in wrath and blizzard’, allowing Professor David to return home and do ‘honour both to science and the Empire’.

Title A name given to the resource Viking Dragon Ship Subject The topic of the resource Brisbane, brooch, Lady Chelmsford, Christiana, dragon, Ivar, Norway, QLD, Queensland, The Queenslander, recreation, shield, ship, Viking, Vikings Description An account of the resource A newspaper article about a Viking Dragon Ship on page 29 of the Brisbane newspaper The Queenslander on 18 July, 1908. The recreation ship filled up most of St Paul&rsquo;s Hall and included shields with emblems along its sides, a prow consisting of a dragon with &lsquo;open mouth, blazing eye-balls, and golden horns&rsquo;. Another shield (perhaps in place of a sail) was on a pole in the centre of the ship and hoisted during the opening ceremony. Stalls draped in Viking colours were set up around the sides of the ship. Accompanying the ship were people in Viking dress and pseudonyms. The opening was presided over by Lady Chelmsford, who had seen a real Viking ship in Christiana, Norway. The article states that the Viking dead were placed in ships and the whole then set on fire. After accepting a Viking brooch from &lsquo;Ivar&rsquo;, the Vikings gave a war-cry and Lady Chelmsford thanked Ivar in Norwegian.
