Different places had different usages, but in England, the person responsible for organizing the peasants was called a reeve. He was normally a peasant himself, sometimes appointed by the lord of the manor, and often elected by the peasants, subject to the lord's approval. He organized the labor on the lord's land, assigned farm lots to different peasants for their own use, and acted as a communications link between the peasants and the lord.

Order was also enforced by the peasants, subject to oversight. If there was any disorder, a group of peasants were assigned the job of making sure the person who caused it stayed around for a trial at a manorial court, which was conducted at least annually. The manorial courts were under the supervision of the lord, subject to local custom. There were crimes that the manorial courts could not try, such as major felonies, but they did deal with disputes of most kinds.
