This Order, sometimes known as the Mercedarians, was founded by Saint Peter Nolasco in 1218 A.D. in Barcelona and still exists today as an international community of priests and brothers who generally follow the monastic Rule of St Augustine; the Order originally sought to save or ransom Christian prisoners of the Moors and other followers of Islam, extending firstly from Moorish Spain and on eastwards, across north Africa and to the Saracen Holy Land, even going so far as the members of the Order specifically taking a Fourth Vow to offer themselves or their lives up to save a Christian captive who is in danger of losing their faith. This gold ring, showing the arms of the Order, would have been owned and worn by a senior member or office-holder.
