A person who lives on or owns byland; someone whose property is situated beside or adjacent to main holdings.
From 'byland' plus the agent suffix '-er,' referring to someone who dwells on secondary or marginal land.
A 'bylander' wasn't a merchant, lord, or farmer—they inhabited the social margins in the literal landscape, suggesting that geography and social class were inseparable in medieval society.
