Best Answer

The serf's master was a lord. This was not always a title with a specific rank attached to it, so it could have applied to a knight, or even a person of no title at all.

The person who organized serfs was often called a reeve. This person was appointed by the lord or elected by the serfs with the lords final approval, depending on the traditions at the particular manor. The reeve was often a serf himself, and acted as the representative of the other serfs to the lord, and of the lord to the other serfs. His job also included assignment of jobs and land.
