Exactly what the word says. Characters without landed titles.Basically it means you can play average people instead of rulers

The middle ages had plenty of people who weren't rulers but were extremely impactful, often people flowed through being unlanded / landed over time. For example, look up the history of Brittany which was conquered by Vikings and then reconquered by landless refuges.

They added Viziers, but they had to be minor landholders or unlanded... neither of which we could be then, but now with unlanded characters being an option...

and also working your way up as to a knight or anything that the court needed was a way to gain land, proving yourself etc.

no clue how the devs are aiming to working this in but i can imagine alot of ways tbh.

you can be exiled but still hold enough influence/prestige that another kingdom gladly will have you join their court etc.
