This might be a double definition.

'loyal follower' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bloke from belgian city?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for liegeman that I've seen before include "A loyal person" , "Loyal follower" , "Person serving lord" , "Vassal, subject" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
