I see you have a problem with identifying this language. I've found this on the internet.

"pencez de moy", meaning "think of me", period French spelling, the modern French would be spelt "pensez de moi".

Yes, I saw you were on it when I wanted to do something about, that's why I said : "take it away Goncy"! (but not "take it off" source-text flag was only to be edited and you did it well!

Meaning in actual French would be : "Pensez à moi" (not "de" moi, Noella )

...ah...and "pensez de moy" is the correct old French form of this short sentence, not "pencez de moy"...

I've just copied it from the following website on the internet, Francky.

http://www.romanceher.com/PoesyJewelry.htm
It says :
The original ring is inscribed pencez de moy, meaning "think of me", in Lombardic script with period French spelling, the modern French would be spelt pensez de moi. French was still very much the language of the aristocracy in 15th century England.

I can't copy the picture of the pendant with this inscription. But you can always have a look at the website above.
Don't get me wrong. You're right of course. It's indeed 'pensez à moi'.

Oh, funny because I've been here too just before coming back here and read your post Noella.
So I'll edit the text with "pencez"
