The term 'ruby' in the Medieval and Renaissance periods encompassed a number of red stones, including garnet and spinel. These red gemstones were highly valued for their magical qualities and were believed to protect the the wearer from dangers such as the loss of land and rank or status and were valued for these talismanic powers as well as for their colour and beauty.
