A comprehensive theory of matrix-vaued functions with symmetries was developed forty years ago by Gohberg, Lancaster and Rodman.  The quadratic eigenvalue problem with Hermitian symmetry is the prototype - with many applications. The theory will be summarised in this case and will be illustrated with recent developments concerning, in particular, inverse spectral problems.
