skuldarmaðr (ON) noun

A ‘man of debt’. Can refer either to a creditor or a debtor. In the latter case the term seems to be synonymous with lögskuldarmaðr (q.v.). Skuldarmenn were required to repay their debts within a specified time or they could be summoned for robbery (ON rán, see ran). In a broader sense a skuldarmaðr is a person with obligations and can therefore refer to a kinsman (cf. OSw skyldarman).
