The term 'yeoman' is associated with land, or degree of land ownership, and may have its ancient roots in the early Anglo-Saxon rule of England or earlier. In ancient times the land was a strong indicator of social status and wealth, since the period known as the Dark Ages, and terms like 'yeoman farmer' were used in the 16th century to denote prosperous small farmers; whether their land was copyhold, freehold, or a mixture of both.
