A quick definition of liege man:

A liege man is a person who owes loyalty and service to a feudal lord or monarch. They are bound by feudal tenure and entitled to feudal allegiance. The term can also refer to a vassal who is bound to feudal allegiance or a loyal subject of a monarch or sovereign. In Scots law, "liege poustie" refers to the lawful power of a person to dispose of their heritable property when they are in good health. This term is derived from the Latin phrase "legitima potestas" which means lawful power.

The knight would swear fealty to their liege lord, making them their superior and binding them to their service. This was a common practice in medieval times and was an important part of the feudal system.
