    It was considered a puzzle by wry females of a certain European country during the Reformation era, to ensure fidelity, or at least hamper their partners into thinking quick. Yet, another European country featured a similar technique, yet ironically the design is formulated to 'unravel' easily. What is it, which two countries are involved and which third European country utilizes the opposite procedure of usage, except for one region?

    		Er....no.

    There are other ways to try to ensure fidelity, even if symbolic. 'Puzzle' is the word you need to adhere to, and concentration on wry 'females' wouldn't go astray either.

    		Well done zb, yes, it's the puzzle-ring I was after. The Italians wore them, but the French kind had a pattern that easily and quickly slid off. And, interestingly, the Spanish wear their rings on the right hand instead of the left, except for the Catalans.

    Now, do you still want one of my Golden bananas?

    It has been documented through antiquity concerning one certain monotheistic religion with references to a particular day of the week for its usage. The modern prototype was introduced by a landlocked European country for their queen around 600 years ago, whilst two other European kings also have both indulged in it. What is it, and how did it once murder a duchess?

    A European country, already in a dispute with another nation over the second's use of a certain name, is now outraged because that second country wants to re-christen a transportation hub after someone whom the first country claims as its very own hero.
