   2. The collective body of yeomen, or freeholders.

            The enfranchised yeomanry began to feel an instinct
            for dominion.                         --Bancroft.
      [1913 Webster]

   3. A British volunteer cavalry force, growing out of a royal
      regiment of fox hunters raised by Yorkshire gentlemen in
      1745 to fight the Pretender, Charles Edward; -- calle
      dalso {yeomanry cavalry}. The members furnish their own
      horses, have fourteen days' annual camp training, and
      receive pay and allowance when on duty. In 1901 the name
      was altered to {imperial yeomanry} in recognition of the
      services of the force in the Boer war. See {Army
      organization}, above.
