(as the English of dominus) was the title adopted by priests, as "dom" by monks, and in consequence they were commonly called Sir Johns. There were three sirs — sir king, sir priest, and sir knight. At the Reformation it was the title of those in orders, but not graduated — those who had graduated being known as magisters (masters).
