I have heard this term a lot. Being new to this game I am not sure what this means. Does it mean someone somehow owns a land or has a land title? And how can I tell is someone is landed? Thanks...
What does the term landed mean and how can I tell if someone is landed?

They have a title with land (A holding, like a city, castle or temple). This is a barony of or a county. Everything else is not really landed. You can tell that they are landed by a ring around their portrait. A baron will have a bronze ring, a count a silver, a duke a small gold IIRC, and a king a large gold one.
Some titles can exist without holding land (for example the Golden Horde), and you can check if a person has land by simply checking if the person has any county titles or barony titles.

Landed means "has land", that is, has a title.
You can see whether someone's landed or not by going to their portrait and checking the shields below it. If any are in the upper row, it means the person is landed.
Edit @ Wallain: dukes have a blue ribbon, not a gold ring.

Characters can have duke or above level titles and not be landed (mercenary captains and holy order grandmasters are unlanded dukes unless they hold a barony/county; religion leaders can be unlanded duke/king level theocracies.)
No, they don't.
But you can land them, after which they will be your vassals. I don't remember the specifics, but there is a trick for vassalizing merc. captains and holy orders.
My impression is that from then on, they behave like the varangian guard, in that only you will be able to call them up.
You can't vassalize mercanaries. Ever.
You can however vassalize holy orders. To accomplish that you need to be of their religion (=Catholic), same culture helps too. Land them, wait for claimants and then press the claim.
On topic:
<douchebagmode>I know this is rude but this gotta be one of the silliest threads I've ever seen on this board. It could only be topped by a "what does the term dead mean and how I can tell if someone is dead". A landed character holds land. What else should the word mean?</douchebagmode>
I thought I read in some thread that if mercenaries took land as a result of not being paid (which I have seen), you could then vassalize them like normal feudal lords (which I have not seen).
Okay, if this very rare thing happens then it is possible. "Ever" was clearly an overstatement then
Wouldn't be worth the work though ^^
