    I have a question please.  I saw the term "Laird" prefixing a
title.  When I looked it up, expecting it to mean Lord, I found out it
meant Landholder. (Source:  The Writer's Guide to Everyday Life in the
Middle Ages.)  I still am surprised.  Can anyone confirm that laird
indeed means landholder?  Thank you very much for your time.
Ha det sa bra,
