Not long before his escape in August 1933, Hofer said, he heard one of the Austrian warders singing the Nazi anthem with the additional line â€œBondage will only last a short time nowâ€. This he correctly interpreted as a sign that he would soon be rescued. The article likens the incident to a legend concerning the imprisonment of Richard the Lionheart in the twelfth century. In 1192, Richard I of England was captured by Leopold V of Austria on his return from the Third Crusade. He was held for a significant ransom, which Richardâ€™s mother - Eleanor of Aquitaine - raised. Richard was eventually released and returned to England in 1194. A popular chivalric legend emerged that a faithful troubadour named Blondel travelled from castle to castle after Richard was captured singing a song that would be recognisable only to him, in order to discover the place of Richardâ€™s imprisonment.

Description An account of the resource This interest piece from The West Australian in 1953 discusses the symbolic use of animals in roman legends and medieval fables, and their anthropomorphic investment with human characteristics. Using an incident in New South Wales where a circus tiger wandered into a neighbouring house and licked a sleeping child as their impetus, the author claims that animal stories have been popular since the days of Aesop. Amongst other examples, they note that in medieval stories about Reynard the Fox, he was usually depicted as a genial, roguish hero, and that the writers of medieval romances regularly employed the lion to symbolise courage and honour.

The Former Magistrateâ€™s Court Building is a three-storey building of French Romanesque design. As is common of neo-romanesque or Norman Revival architecture, the entrance is strongly modelled; the already large doorway is amplified by archivolts, in this case a band of five semi-circular arches, column jambs and decorative hood moulding. The Former Magistrateâ€™s Court building was designed by Department of Public Works architect George H B Austin and built by the Swanson Brothers. It replaced a two-storey brick building on the site that previously housed the Supreme Court and then the Court of Petty Sessions. Construction of the new building began in 1911 and was completed in 1914. The Court of Petty Sessions, later renamed the Melbourne Magistrateâ€™s court, operated from the building from 1914 until 1995. It is now owned by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and is used for lectures.

The first stone was laid in 1916, but following the death of Bishop Kelly the cathedral was not completed until 1938 due to a lack of funds and lack of enthusiasm from Kellyâ€™s replacement, Bishop Ryan. The cathedral is an interesting mix of styles. The twin towers at the front are similar to the Spanish mission style architecture (eg. The Mission Church of Santa Barbara in California), the central doorway is French Romanesque, the dome has echoes of Brunelleschiâ€™s cupola in Florence, and the cone-roofed tower at the rear is similar to those found on French Renaissance chÃ¢teaux. The interior features Romanesque columns, timbered ceiling, and zebra striping on the walls and arches. For more information on Monsignor John Cyril Hawes, see A. G.

The ornate and decorative stonework - including the protrusions and patterning, the lancet openings, the mini-turrets and the blind quatrefoil designs - is typical of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. About the Mitchell Building: The Mitchell Building was designed by South Australian architect Willliam McMinn in the Victorian Academic Gothic style. It was completed between 1879 and 1881, and officially opened in 1882. The Mitchell Building was the first building on the North Terrace campus of The University of Adelaide and originally housed all of the university disciplines. It was named the Mitchell Building in 1961 in honour of Sir William Mitchell, who was Vice-Chancellor of the university from 1916-1942 and Chancellor from 1942-1948. Today it is used as an administrative hub. The Mitchell Buildingâ€™s other neo-gothic features include its steeply gabled roof, rows of twin lancet windows, decorative stone tracery and the entrance porch.
