The word steward is a very old English word dating from the Early Middle Ages. The word reeve came to mean much the same thing, but a little later. A French and Latin term that is more or less equivalent is major domo.

1st Answer:

Nothing, no rank.

2nd Answer:

A steward was a person who was paid to look after a wealthy person's possessions, especially those that were money or had monetary value. Stewards were educated people who were hired by people who were wealthy, members of the nobility, or royal. Some of the stewards were clergy, and some, especially those who worked for kings, were of the nobility. Some were common but bright, which made them middle class.
