A Reeve was a serf who was elected by the other serfs to supervise the village. He lived and worked in the village just as any other serf did. He proably did a bit better than the average serf due to the privledges of his position, but the fact that he was elected annyually by the villagers probably limited his corruption somewhat.

The term Reeve had two meanings in medieval England. During the Anglo-Saxon period the term refereed to an appointed official. They might supervise a town, a port, the holding of a noble, or a particular shire. The term shire-reeve is the origin of the modern work sheriff. After the normal conquest the usage of the term changed. A reeve was still an official, but a much more minor one. A reeve was responsible for overseeing a lord's lands on a manor, organizing and directing the labor of the serfs, and also in some cases for collection of fees and rents and for duties such as selling the lord's farm produce. In some cases reeves were appointed by the lord, but there were also traditions where the reeve was elected by the villagers of the manor.
A reeve was a medieval town or village secular official. In England a man's religion was not relevant to his position as reeve.

a beadle was a medieval police man. If something had been stolen for example the lord of the manor would appoint the beadle and the reeve (a reeve is who the beadle assisted) and would catch the villain.
The reeve in medieval England was a manor official responsible for overseeing the estate's management. He was typically a trusted individual chosen by the lord, known for his intelligence, organization, and skill in managing finances and resources. The reeve played a key role in ensuring the estate ran smoothly and profitably.
why did the reeve wear a horn in medieval times
they did farming reaping and ............................................... lots of other weird things
The importance of various reeves varied. Some were important and some were not. The English reeve of after the Norman conquest was serf chosen to supervise other serfs on a manor. But there were also high-reeves and shire-reeves who were important people.
