Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating journey of a ring discovered in 1892, its inscription 'Willingly thine own' igniting a quest to unravel its history. The author meticulously traces the ring's potential origins to the tumultuous period of the early 16th century, specifically the turbulent relationship between the Venetian Republic and the Frangipani family, a powerful Croatian dynasty. Set against the backdrop of the Italian Wars and the League of Cambray, the narrative unveils the intricate political landscape of the time. The author navigates through historical chronicles, diaries, and letters, piecing together the lives and actions of key figures like Count Christoph Frangipani and the Venetian chronicler Marino Sanuto. The reader is transported to a world of shifting alliances, territorial disputes, and acts of both bravery and treachery. Central to the book's exploration is the examination of the Frangipani family's complex history, their rise to power, and their contentious interactions with the Venetian Republic. The author delves into their motivations, ambitions, and the events that led to their eventual displacement. Themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the enduring consequences of historical events are interwoven throughout the narrative.

The ring had a Gothic inscription 'Willingly thine own', and Thode recognised by its style that it dated from around 1500.
