Armiger (General)
No probs there, thanks for showing the whole MR.
Judging by the date and locality (Clearwell Castle etc) to me the "Armiger" definition looks very likely indeed.
Are any of his descendants listed in the "Men & Armour for Gloucestershire in 1608" website ?.
eg "Littledean [Forest of Dean] Thomas Braine gentleman. A20. lower stature"
