Where did the term butler come from?

The term "butler" originates from the Old French word "bouteillier," which referred to the officer in charge of the wine cellar, derived from "bouteille," meaning bottle. It evolved in English during the late Middle Ages to denote a senior servant responsible for serving wine and overseeing other household staff. Over time, the role expanded to include various domestic duties, leading to the modern conception of a butler as a chief steward in a household.

What social class did a medieval steward belong to?

A steward managed the financial and real assets of his employer, who might be a lord, king, or some other person with sufficient wealth that it needed to be managed. The steward's job included accounting, managing rent and other income, and keeping track of expenses. It often extended beyond these and could even include acting as butler. Stewards were sometimes very powerful, and some were even more powerful than the people they served. The Frankish office of majordomo was for the steward of the king. Eventually Charles Martel, as majordomo, deposed the last Merovingian king of the Franks, taking full control himself, with the pope's blessings. Similarly, the Scottish Stewart family got its name from the office of royal steward, but eventually married into the royal family and wound up in possession of the throne.


Where did slaves sleep in Medieval Times?

Not in a bed, and not in unsanitary quarters. Medieval servants usually slept where they worked. The kitchen crew slept in the kitchen, the pantler in the pantry, the butler in the buttery, the stable hands in the stable, and so on. Not even household knights had separate quarters--they slept in the hall that was used to hold court in the daytime and to serve meals at mealtime. Only the very rich people had beds.
