Lendmann (plural lendmenn; Old Norse: lendr maðr) was a title in medieval Norway.
In 1308 Haakon V of Norway (reigned 1299–1319) abolished the title baron as well.
A lendmann was allowed to keep a retinue of forty without special permission from the king.
[1] The term lendmann is sometimes confused with lensmann, which is a title used in local administration (a policeman in smaller towns) in later centuries, however the two terms are not related.
