left hand top a small little box, what am I doing wrong?

Dear Newsgroup ~

There is no mystery here at all here. It was customary in the medieval
period in England to address an Earl as "Sir." If you look closely,
you can easily find such references in published sources such as the
Patent Rolls. I've listed a few such references below for various well
known individuals such "Sir John de Lascy, Earl of Lincoln", "Sir
William Marshal sometime Earl of Pembroke," Sir Hubert de Burgh Earl of
Kent, "Sir Ralph Neville, Earl of Westmorland," "Sir Hugh le Despenser
earl of Winchester," "Sir Richard Earl of Arundel," etc. The
references below run from the early 1200's to 1400.

The word in Latin for "Sir" in the earlier records would be "dominus."
