LIEGE, from the Latin, ligare, to bind. The bond subsisting between the
subject and chief, or lord and vassal, binding the one to protection and
just government, the other to tribute and due subjection. The prince or
chief is called liege lord; the subjects liege men. The word is now applied
as if the liegance or bond were only to attach the people to the prince.
