1nd AnswerA steward was a manager, not really looking after the lord of a manor, so much as looking after the manor itself or its finances or assets. Or he might look after the assets and finances of a kingdom. He was not a slave or a serf, but was also not usually a member of the nobility. 2rd AnswerA steward was a lord's chief representative of a village. When a lord was not present in that village, the steward was in effective control of the village - though answerable to the lord if something went wrong.
