Last night I watched the first episode of the sixth season of "Inside the Tower of London." One of the segments covered the discovery of a gold ring, possibly tied to the Boleyn Family. The History Blog covered the story in February 2023, but I don't remember seeing it. I'll post the link to the History Blog article below.

During this first episode, Tracy Borman, who is the Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces traveled to the site where it had been found in the field behind a stone wall, within site of Shurland Hall on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, England. Further research done on the ring shows that Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn visited Shurland Hall, stopping there for three days on their way to Calais. Henry was known for taking many people with him when he traveled, especially members of his privy council...two members being Anne's father Thomas Boleyn, and her brother George. Henry loved to hunt, and it's possible that on one of the mornings he was at Shurland Hall, he decided to go hunting in the field behind the house, and that Thomas and/or George were with him, and could have lost the ring.

A lot of speculation going on over a single ring.

Makes for a good story but there is really no evidence to back it up.

One can only wonder if Merovingian owner was an ancestor of the later French membership from Rennes-le chateau and the Prieure de Sion.

Engraved inside, they found “For a good time, call Ophelia, Brookside 238. Tell her Hamlet sent you."
