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.

<p>This photograph shows banners advertising the ‘Love and Devotions: from Persia and beyond’ exhibition at the State Library of Victoria. The banners form an image taken from a Persian manuscript. The exhibition features Persian manuscripts from the thirteenth to eighteenth centuries, along with manuscripts from Europe, Ottoman Turkey, and Mughal India. The majority of manuscripts on display are from the Bodleian Libraries of the University of Oxford.</p>
<p>Such exhibitions are a rare opportunity for Australians to interact with real artefacts from the medieval period. Along with modern appropriations they often help to form people’s perceptions of the medieval era.</p>

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 ‘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.

Description
An account of the resource
The MacLaurin Window was created in 1920 and can be found in the Nicholson Vestibule lighting the staircase. The window has a portrait of Sir Henry Normand MacLaurin, Chancellor of the University of Sydney from 1896 to 1914, flanked by James I (England) and VI (Scotland) (1566-1625), and Alfred the Great (849-899). Alfred was king of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex (roughly England south of the Thames) and his dynasty later unified England. Alfred is shown holding a warship, perhaps due to the notion that he was the father of the English navy due to the ships that he had constructed to help counter Viking attacks.

Description
An account of the resource
On the seven hundred and twentieth anniversary of the first issue of Magna Carta (in 1215), this article in the Western Mail outlines the charter’s significance for English history and notes that special lessons had been delivered in Australian State high schools in recognition of its importance. The article begins by suggesting that the Great Charter differed only in degree from the previous charters of Norman and Angevin Kings, but then goes on to draw particular attention to the Magna Carta’s role in outlining the mutual obligations of the King and his feudal vassals, in removing weirs from rivers to facilitate inland transport, and in affording to all classes of freemen the right to a fair trial. The article also describes the location and state of the four surviving copies of the charter bearing the Great Seal of King John, including two in the British Museum and one each in the Lincoln and Salisbury Cathedrals.

Description
An account of the resource
The diorama of King John I (1166-1216) signing Magna Carta in 1215 is one of six revolving scenes devoted to English royalty that appear on the hour in the Royal Clock in Sydney’s Queen Victoria Building. The clock was designed by Neil Glasser and made by Thwaites and Reed in Hastings, England. In the scene John is shown sitting on a throne flanked by guards with spears and signing the document surrounded by the English barons (in chain-mail) who had revolted against him and the Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langton (1150-1228).
The signing of Magna Carta is considered an moment in the history of western democracy. Australia owns a medieval copy of Magna Carta, which is on display in Parliament House, Canberra.

Description
An account of the resource
An advertisement for a replica medieval eating spoon distributed by ‘Mainly Medieval’, an online re-enactor supplies company based in New South Wales. The spoon is made from food grade pewter. It is described by the catalogue as ‘English,’ and of a type and design that was common between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. At the tip of the handle there is a stylised acorn design, symbolising life, fertility, and strength (See Gertrude Jobes, Dictionary of Mythology Folklore and Symbols, New York, The Scarecrow Press, 1962, vol. 1, p.27). The acorn was also, as the catalogue suggests, regarded as a talisman against cholera and fluxes. These properties likely explain its decorative appeal for dining utensils.

Description
An account of the resource
A photograph depicting chain mail being hand-crafted according to the traditional medieval method at the Perth Medieval Fayre. Chain mail is made by interlocking a number of metal rings to form small sections. Each ring is linked through four others and then the end is riveted. Additional links are then inserted to join the sections together and create a meshed material. The mail can be shaped into patterns – for example gloves, shirts, hoods and chin-guards – by increasing or decreasing the number of metal rings in a row when the sections are created. Chain mail was used extensively in the middle ages to fashion protective garments that were worn as body armour by medieval knights and soldiers. It was gradually superseded by plate armour in the fourteenth century, possibly as a result of the increasing use of high-powered weapons such as crossbows and longbows (See Kelly DeVries, Medieval Military Technology, Peterborough, Broadview Press, 1992, p.75).
The Perth Medieval Fayre is organised by the Western Australian Medieval Alliance (WAMA). In 2011 it was held at Supreme Court Gardens on 19 March. Enthusiasts and vendors showcased a range of medieval arts and crafts, from dancing, calligraphy and lace-making to demonstrations of the techniques, weaponry and apparel of medieval combat.
