Bailiff
The duty of a bailiff is to be a chief law
officer and manager of a lord’s manor. He represents
the lord to both the villagers and strangers.
Often, he protects local villagers against characters
from another lord.
The main concern of a bailiff is management.
The bailiff can read and write. He must make
sure that crops and stock are tended properly, and
that the manor is supplied from outside of the village.
A formidable list of purchases include millstones,
iron, building timber and stone, firewood,
nails, horseshoes, carts, cartwheels, axles, iron tires,
salt, candles, parchment, cloth, utensils for dairy and
kitchen, slate, thatch, quicklime, quicksilver, tar, baskets,
livestock, and food.
There are 2 other uncommon officials who
are subordinate to the bailiff: the macebearer
(claviger) and the serjeant. These subordinate officials
are soldiers from a nearby town or city. The
reeve is the chief official who is subordinate to the
bailiff. The bailiff ’s residence is the lord’s manor
house. The main room, the hall, is the setting for
the manorial court, but otherwise it remains at the
disposal of the bailiff. Daily wages are typically 10
