Person deceased in 1846, Hamre, Hordaland is described in Digitalarkivet as vilkaarsmand. Can someone translate? On-line translation can't decipher.

It means he had left the farm on certain conditions to the next generation.
Føderaadsmand is also used.

Directly translated: "Terms-man".

It means the person was residing on a farm under some specific terms,rights.
The exact terms he was living under, should be found in the registered letter from the local court.
Most likely derived from surrendered property, ie the farm has been handed over to the next generation (or sold to others), but he has the rights to live on the farm for the rest of his life.
