COTTER, COTTAR, or COTTIER

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 253 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
COTTER, COTTAR, or COTTIER , a word derived from the Latin cola, a cot or cottage, and used to describe a man who occupies a cottage and cultivates a small
plot
  of
land
 . This word is often employed to translate the cotarius of Domesday
Book
 , a class whose exact status has been the subject of some discussion, and is still a matter of doubt. According to Domesday the cotarii were comparatively few, numbering less than seven thousand, and were scattered unevenly throughout England, being principally in the southern counties; they were occupied either in cultivating a small
plot
  of
land
 , or in working on the holdings of the villani. Like the villani, among whom they were frequently classed, their economic
condition
  may be described as " free in relation to every one except their lord."
See F. W.
Maitland
 , Domesday
Book
  and Beyond (
Cambridge
 , [897) ; and P. Vinogradoff, Villainage in England (
Oxford
 , 1892):
