bailiff - collected rents and dues (from people when they had to pay their taxes) 2. reeve - intermediary between the peasants and higher officials (the word sheriff comes from shire reeve) 3. steward - head of the manorial court (if you watched the Lord of the Rings, Boromir's father Denethor was the steward of Gondor, meaning that he ruled until the true king came to take his place)
