Story by Bavarian? Not right for loyal servant (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liegeman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'story by bavarian? not right' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'loyal servant' is the wordplay.
'loyal' becomes 'liege' (similar in meaning).
'servant' becomes 'man' (man is a kind of servant).
'liege'+'man'='LIEGEMAN'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
