What is a Lawrightman?

Lawrightman is a term that was used in the past to refer to a person who was considered to be a "right-hand man" or a trusted advisor to a lord or other high-ranking individual. The term is derived from the Old English words "hlaford" (lord) and "wryhta" (writer), which together mean "one who serves a lord."

In medieval England, a lawrightman was typically a member of the lord's household or retinue who was responsible for managing the lord's legal affairs and serving as his representative in court. The lawrightman would have been well-versed in the law and would have had a deep understanding of the lord's rights and obligations under the law.

Today, the term "lawrightman" is no longer commonly used, and the role of the lawrightman has largely been replaced by that of a lawyer or legal advisor. However, the term can still be found in historical documents and texts from the medieval period, where it is often used to refer to a trusted advisor or representative of a lord or other high-ranking individual.
