'Rei' ispossibly a misspelling for 'regis', genitive of Latin 'rex', 'king', and could mean 'of a' or 'the king, the king's'. 'Caballero' is Spanish for 'knight' (Latin 'eques'). 'Filius' is Latin (nominative) for 'son'. 'Maestro' is Spanish (and Italian) for 'master' or 'teacher' (Latin 'magister'). But as noted 'rei' may be a misspelling for 'regis' (Spanish 'del rey', 'of the king, the king's'), and 'maestro' an old Romance oblique case form for 'magistro', in which case the whole might mean 'the king's knight, the master's son', the twin pairings of a Latin followed by a Spanish word standing as appostives, perhaps intended as a kind of pun. |
