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

'loyal servant' is the wordplay.

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.
