Source Code: Earl of Pembroke’s Armour

[[File:EarlofPembrokefront.JPG|thumbnail|Front view of armour on display]]
The Earl of Pembroke’s Armour is one of the pieces in the [[Royal Ontario Museum]]’s
European Collection. This suit of armour belonged to the [[Earl of Pembroke]], [[William
Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke (10th Creation)|William Herbert]] (1501-1570).
==History==
=== William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke ===
William Herbert was a noble and courtier during the [[House of Tudor|Tudor Period]] and
served as a guardian to King Edward VI following the death of King Henry VIII. After King
Edward's death he served Queen Mary I. The Earl had 3 children surviving to adulthood
who also served the House of Tudor. William Herbert died on March 17, 1570 and is buried
in St. Paul’s Cathedral next to his first wife, [[Anne Herbert, Countess of Pembroke|Anne
(Parr) Herbert]].<ref>{{cite web|title=''William Herbert, 1st earl of Pembroke''.

=== The armour ===
The armour on display at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto is the torso and upper leg
portion of the full suit that was created for William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke. This
piece is a rare example of armour made by master armourer [[Erasmus Kirkener]] at the
[[Greenwich armour|Royal Armoury Workshops at Greenwich]], England in the 1550s.<ref

Sailsbury in Wiltshire, England. After the First World War, as with many large country

have an interesting history of their own tied in with the social and financial changes brought
on by the war. [[Charles Trick Currelly|Charles Currelly]] acquired this piece for the Royal

European Galleries.
==Armour Description==
The armour is composed of overlapping horizontal lames of steel that are held together by
internal leather straps and sliding rivets. This Italian influenced design of armour found on
the breastplate and backplate is known as ''anime.'' Kirkener designed ''animes'' between
1550 and 1560. The ROM's ''anime'' is one of only three surviving ''animes'' made at
Greenwich in public collections. ''Animes'' formed the core parts of armour garnitures.<ref
name="Iconic"/>
[[File:Earlofpembrokeright.JPG|thumbnail|left|side view of armour on display]]
Garniture armour is a collection of interchangeable pieces which could be rearranged for
various combat situations. Most suits of garniture armour would include a full plate
harness, a helmet with removable visor, a grandguard (neck support), a passguard (extra
arm support), a manifer (hand guard), and a set of saddle steels. Sometimes a shaffron (to
protect the head of the horse) was created as part of the set. Pembroke's armour forms
what is known as a ''small garniture'' that would be used for infantry and light or heavy
cavalry use.<ref name="Iconic"/>
In addition to serving as protection for the wearer, armour is reflective fashion styles
during the 1550s. The shape of the shoulders and sides of this piece reflect the cut of the
[[Doublet (clothing)|doublet]] worn by civilians during the reign of Mary I. The custom
made piece also reflects the physical dimensions of the Earl of Pembroke.<ref

'''Charles Trick Currelly''' (January 11, 1876 &ndash; April 10, 1957) was a [[Canada|
Canadian]] [[clergy]]man and [[Archaeology|archeologist]], and the first director of the
[[Royal Ontario Museum]] from 1914 to 1946.
==Early life==
Charles Currelly was born on January 11, 1876 in Exeter, Ontario, the son of John Currelly
and Mary Treble. An only child, he attended the local school in Exeter and was known to
visit the shops of the blacksmith, tanner, and wheelwright in order to study how different
materials were used.<ref name=Matthews>{{cite journal|last=Matthews|first=Julia|

Wilson in Latin, who also taught him how to shoot.<ref name="Matthews" /> Currelly's high
school years at the [[Harbord Collegiate Institute]] brought his family to Toronto. During
this time, Currelly participated in art lessons and nature studies. After graduating in 1894,
he attended the University of Toronto's [[Victoria University, Toronto|Victoria College]] like
his father and grandfather. At Victoria College, he took biology and earth science courses in
addition to asian history and the Romance Languages. He received his B.A. in 1898.<ref
name="Matthews" /> After leaving university, Currelly spent the next two years serving as a
lay missionary for the [[Methodist Church]] at the [[Umatilla Indian Reservation]] in
Northern [[Manitoba]].<ref name="torontostar" /> During this time, he collected
information on First Nations life in early Canada that was exhibited upon his return to
Victoria College for postgraduate studies.<ref name="Matthews" /> Currelly was awarded
his Master's degree from Victoria College in 1902.<ref name="torontostar" />
== Archeology==
After completing his Master's degree, Currelly and his friend Ned Burwash, the son of
[[Nathaniel Burwash]], Chancellor of Victoria University went to England planning to study
how social gospel had filtered down to the working classes. However, this plan was
disrupted when Currelly stopped at the [[British Museum]] to have some coins
identified.<ref name="Matthews" /> After a little [[shawabti]] figure fell out of his pocket,

the [[Egypt Exploration Fund]]. Petri interviewed Currelly about his drawing skills and
offered him an assistantship. Soon, Curelly was living in Petrie's home learning how to pack
artifacts.<ref name="Matthews" /><ref name=Harbordite>{{cite journal|title=Some
Distinguished Harbordites|journal=Harbordite:|year=1992|month=Spring|issue=30|
accessdate=7 June 2013}}</ref> Eventually, Currelly was responsible for a dig in Egypt
where he discovered the [[cenotaph]] and tomb of [[Ahmose I]].<ref name=Lovat>{{cite
book|last=Dickson|first=Lovat|title=The Museum Makers: The Story of the Royal Ontario
Museum|year=1986|publisher=Royal Ontario Museum|location=Ontario|isbn=0-88854-

Petrie until 1905, when Petrie left the Egypt Exploration Fund.<ref name="Lovat" /> In
1907, Currelly also left the Fund.
While in Egypt, Currelly discovered his talent and love of collecting and began to collect for
people in Britain and Canada including [[Edmund Walker]], the father of one his school
friends. After meeting with Walker in 1905, Currelly was appointed official collector for the
University of Toronto and later was given the title of Curator of Oriental Archaeology.<ref
name="Lovat" /> Currelly delved into his work, becoming more and more convinced that a
good museum must be developed in Toronto <ref name="Harbordite" /><ref

==Royal Ontario Museum==
In 1906, when Edmund Walker was chairing a commission on the future of the University of
Toronto, it was recommended that a museum should be constructed to to serve students
and the public. Soon planning for the founding of a provincial museum started under
Walker's watchful eye. In 1907, Currelly was made curator of the Royal Ontario Museum of
Archaeology. During 1911, Currelly started to work in the basement of the first museum
building which was still under construction. Finally, in 1914, Currelly became director of the
Archaeology Museum.<ref name="Matthews" /><ref name="Harbordite" /> Throughout his
life, Currelly continuously worked to advance the Museum's interests, and never stopped
looking for acquisitions to compliment the Museum's collections leading them to grow
enormously through the late 1910s and 1920's. When Currelly finally retired in 1946, the
Museum renamed the old Armour Court the Currelly Gallery.<ref name="CurrellyROM" />

[[File:CurrellyBust.JPG|thumb|100px|text-top|Currelly Bust]]
Before Currelly died, he wrote an autobiography entitled, ''I Brought the Ages Home.'' This
book recounts his adventures, travels, and museum work. During his retirement Currelly
lived near [[Port Hope, Ontario]]. While in [[Florida]] for a winter vacation, Curelly fell ill
and was taken the [[Johns Hopkins Hospital]] in [[Baltimore]].<ref name=torontostar>{{cite

exhibition was held at the Museum to commemorate him. The exhibition was marked by the
unveiling of a bronze bust of Currelly which was cast in 1957 by the Vandevoorde Art
Foundry of Montreal. The original sculpture was created in 1919 by Canadian artist Ulric
Stonewall Jackson Dunbar. This bust and a bronze medallion of Currelly can still be viewed
today in the Museum's Sackler Reading Room.<ref name=Bust>{{cite journal|last=Smith|
