   Yeoman
   Early references usually refer to Knights retainers but later the term came to mean a freeholder or tenant engaged in agriculture. The major difference from the minor gentry was that a yeoman would put his own hand to work rather than employ servants. Economically yeomen could and many did acquire substantial wealth and in the 16th and 17th century were the backbone of the rural economy. Many of Leicestershire yeomen were descended from Danish soldiers who were allocated land to farm surrounding the Danelaw boroughs providing a ready defensive force.
