Arrier Ban

Arrierehan.

Fr. [L. Lat. arrieribannum, arribannum; from arriere, behind, and ban, a proclamation.] In feudal and European law. The proclamation by which the arriere vassals, or inferior feudatories of a sovereign, were summoned to military service. See Arriere vassal. The assembling or mustering of the vassals, in obedience to such summons. According to Spelman, this word may import, (from arriere, in the sense of iterum, again,) a repeated summons, or second proclamation, {iterata evocatio, vel citatio posterior); the first being simply termed the ban; or, (from arriere, in the sense of retro, behind,) a proclamation intended for those who remained behind after the first summons, {qui retro manserint post bannum.) Spelm4in, voc.

Aribannum

It should not be confounded with herebannum, (q. v.)
