Pay changed considerably during the very long medieval period. Furthermore, pay was not regulated and could vary from one manor to another.

During the reign of Henry I (1100 to 1135) a royal steward had 5 shillings (really 60 silver pence) a day if he lived outside the king's household; if he lived within the court he got 42 pence a day, plus 2 salted simnel loaves (high quality bread), 1 sextary of ordinary wine and a candle.

Stewards in manorial households would receive far less than this but would similarly be paid both in money, food and wine (and probably a beeswax candle daily).
