Of or relating to a faurd; composed of or subject to faurd service in medieval Scotland.
From faurd, the Scottish military levy system. Adding the -ed suffix created an adjective form to describe things connected to or organized around faurd service.
Scottish legal documents from the 1300s-1600s are full of 'faured men' and 'faured lands'—terms that reveal how tightly military obligation was woven into Scottish feudal property ownership.
