So I'm reading thru the 1642 visitation of Nottinghamshire and I notice a strange thing in one of the pedigrees written in Latin (Clifton of Clifton). There are a lot of people titled "dominus" (dns) as one would expect, but there is someone called the widow of Dni Nicholai Byron militis.
OK, all the Nicholas Byrons I know of were militis and titled Sir, but none were dominus, if by dominus is meant "Lord" as it usually does. So is this just an error, or is someone using "dominus" in some unusual sense to mean Sir?
