Obs. rare–1. [a. AF. wandelard (13th c. in Chardry, Petit Plet, 979, and 14th c. in Bozon, Contes, lxiii.); latinized (‘vir valde wandelardus’) in Wright’s Pol. Songs (Camden Soc.), p. 49.
In these three instances the word would seem to menn ‘extortioner,’ but this sense may be merely contextual. Doubtless of Teut. origin; possibly from the G. personal name Wandalhart; cf., however, MHG. wandel, crime.]
? A criminal, traitor.
1338. R. Brunne, Chron. (1810), 115. Þise men lift þer standard … Ageyn Dauid wandelard, & disconfite him.
