1. cottar

   Cotter, cottier, cottar, Kosatter or Kötter is the German or Scots term for a peasant farmer (formerly in the Scottish Highlands for example). Cotters occupied cottages and cultivated small land lots. The word cotter is often employed to translate the cotarius recorded in the Domesday Book, a social class whose exact status has been the subject of some discussion among historians, and is still a matter of doubt. According to Domesday, the cotarii were comparatively few, numbering fewer than seven thousand people. They were scattered unevenly throughout England, located principally in the counties of Southern England. They either cultivated a small plot of land or worked 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 everyone except their lord.A cottar or cottier is also a term for a tenant who was renting land from a farmer or landlord.

1. cottar

   A cottar, also known as a cottager, is a term from the Medieval Era in England, Scotland and Ireland, referring to a rural worker living in a small cottage who worked the land in exchange for rent or labor. These lands were often owned by a lord or in the feudal system. The cottar usually had a lower status compared to other feudal tenants, like serfs or villeins. The term can also be used to refer to tenant farmers from the Scottish Highlands.
