Ancestor in Family was a "Sir "

[tornado]

My 10th G Grandfather was Sir william Dalison b 1518 in Lincoln UK. I don't know if it is worth researching this ?. All I know is that he was on the "benches " in Law . So "Can anyone recommend I look into this ?". "Or is William too far out from my ancestry?". I welcome any responses and thanks.

Presumably you've seen his Wikipedia page:

And his History of Parliament bio?

And his DNB entry?

Hi Shaun , thanks for the message and Yes I did read those articles . An important Man of the time but I bet he had "skeletons in the closet" even in those Days politics was a corrupt environment. I don't think he is worth much more research . Too far back in my lineage . Best wishes.

Significance of "giving rings"?

For 'plebs fine lege ruit' Google translate comes up with 'the people rushed at the end of the law'.  Not sure if that is correct.

[MollyC]

Dictionary gives meaning of verb ruo, ruere as fall down, tumble; rush, hurry; come to ruin; etc.

Case ending implies "by, with or from" the end of the law.  (I think!)
Finis can also mean result, purpose.

So "the people come to ruin from the purpose/result of the law"?

I was curious as to the significance of "giving of rings".

It’s “sine lege”. A people without law comes to ruin.

thanks all for the contributions here on William . Obviously Laws etc change over time and in Williams era it is difficult to make out such ones .
