What is this Latin word?
« on: Tuesday 06 February 24 09:53 GMT (UK) »
This is from a 1587 church register entry.  I can understand that Anthony Leson was buried but what is the descriptive word?  It could be describing him as a gent - he was lord of the manor - but I cannot match the word in any latin dictionaries.
