Spelman.
Spelman thinks the proper form of this word was heribannum, unless it be considered a contraction of arrieribannum (q. V.) See "Herebannum." Clients joined to some lord for protection. By some, said to be soldiers holding lands from the lord; but the term is also applied to women and slaves.
