Best Answer

Both good and bad.

Reeves were low-status supervisors either appointed by the lord of the manor (the nobleman) or chosen by the farming peasants themselves from among their own number. He was at the same time one of them and a go-between for the landholder to ensure work was done properly, regulations were followed and customary perquisites (for example) were not abused.

A reeve was almost a "piggy-in-the-middle", considered as just a peasant by the aristocracy and a nobleman's toady or lacky by the workforce.

If he were chosen by the workers themselves he was more likely to be popular and have an easy life.
