his heir, also called william, married alice tyrrell, widow of hamo strange, and daughter of john tyrrell, who was speaker of the house of commons of england for three terms. the exact combination of motto and crest or badge has eluded researches thus far. however, the ring was found near roxwell, essex, and evidently belonged to a person of some wealth and status given the quantity of gold used in its manufacture and the quality of the workmanship. the style of the ring is close in appearance to a number of early 15th century examples, which began to appear with the badge and motto rather than the full armorial bearings, so it is very possible that this is the personal signet ring of william skrene, or possibly of his sons, william or thomas. size: d:19.15mm / us: 9 1/4 / uk: s;
