Liege means:

In Western feudalism, a liege is a party in the vassalic oath of allegiance to someone: both the vassal and, more usually, his liege lord. The term has specifically been reserved (not always) for a 'privileged' allegiance, to take precendence in case of conflicting allegiances, as in England always was the case with allegiance to the crown Hence a liege is now any person or entity to which one has pledged allegiance.
