1558 writ inquisition post mortem

[bermyboy]

Hi all, can someone have a look at this writ, please. I'm just wondering what the two x's are after 'underwood gener[osi] x x  qui de nobis' mean. Is it as simple as the scribe filling up a gap? Or might the letters indicate the 'profession' or rank of the gentleman mentioned. I thought perhaps the letters might be p p, but they don't match others in the doc. Thanks

They look to me like fillers, after gen(er)os(us) = gentleman. The wording seems standard for this type of writ, where the text might be written in advance and the name filled in later.

Thanks Bookbox.
