feodary

[ fyoo-duh-ree ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

, plural feo·da·ries.

Origin of feodary¹

1350–1400; Middle English feodarie < Medieval Latin feodārius. See feud ², -ary

The terms of the tenure are but very rarely described, for Domesday Book is no feodary.

In 1453 by a feodary it appears that Edward Hastings held Crosby by cornage of 13s.

I do not think Richardson was at all justified in making, as he seems to do, fedary a different word from feodary.
