A medieval steward was a household or estate manager for a wealthy person or nobleman. He was paid well, but not usually as highly as an attorney, for example. He had to be able to read and write, and to do arithmetic. He managed property, and so might have to inspect the grounds and buildings. He also was likely to manage money, and so would keep track of income, rentals, expenditures, and taxes. He very likely lived in a village or town.
There were stewards for large estates and even countries, and some of these became powerful. Owen Tudor is one example; he was the household manager of Catherine of Valois, the widow of King Henry V, and married her. Their sons rose in power because they were half brothers of King Henry VI, and their grandson, Henry Tudor, became King Henry VII of England. Another example is the Scottish and English Stuart Dynasty, which got its name because it started out as royal stewards.
