LIEGE, a. L. ligo, to bind Gr. to bind, to bend a withe.
1. Bound by a feudal tenure obliged to be faithful and loyal to a superior, as a vassal to his lord subject faithful as a liege man. By liege homage, a vassal was bound to serve his lord against all, without excepting his sovereign or against all, excepting a former lord to whom he owed like service.
2. Sovereign as a liege lord. See the noun.
LIEGE, n. supra.
1. A vassal holding a fee by which he is bound to perform certain services and duties to his lord.
2. A lord or superior a sovereign.
Note. This is a false application of the word, arising probably from transferring the word from the vassal to the lord the lord of liege men, being called liege lord.
