fuidir, a category of semi‐free dependant frequently mentioned in the early Irish
law tracts. He is maintained by a lord in return for his labour. The lord is responsible for any liabilities or fines incurred by the
fuidir or his family, but he is also entitled to retain any fines for offences against the
fuidir. Unlike a client of
bó‐aire rank, the
fuidir cannot make a legal contact without his lord's permission. He is not allowed to part from his lord unless he surrenders two thirds of the produce of his husbandry and leaves no debts behind him.
The texts provide a number of reasons why people were reduced to the status of
fuidir. A
fuidir may have been expelled from his kin‐group or have been sentenced to death for a serious crime and subsequently been ransomed by a lord. A person whose father and grandfather were of
fuidir rank is further reduced to the status of
senchléithe.
