Only few historical sources about Namejs have survived, but people can tell us many legends about him. In the 13th century Namejs was one of the most powerful leaders in Latvia and he controlled almost the whole Semigallian region. He was one of the last warriors fighting against invasion of German crusaders at the beginning of the 13th century. During the battles Namejs was forced to retreat to Lithuania. Before leaving, he gave his ring to his son to help recognize him after his return. Germans found out about this and began to search for the boy. They wanted to kidnap his son and force Namejs tribe to accept Christianity. To protect Namejs and his son almost all Semigallian boys and men made similar rings. Since that time this has been the most popular Latvian ring. This ring helps Latvians all over the world to recognize each other.
