Bailiffs in the middle ages most commonly served the lord of a manor. A bailiff in the middle Ages needed to look presentable as well as be prepared for their duties. Common attire was a long sleeve shirt that fell to mid thigh, pants that were similar to tights, practical shoes, and a pouch to carry the many keys they would need throughout the day.

In the medieval age, bailiffs managed the manor and were responsible for giving out jobs for peasants. The duty of the bailiff or reeve consisted of building repair as well as maintenance of the tools used by the peasants. Common tools allocated to the peasants by the Bailiff would include hammers, ploughs, and hoes used to take care of the manor.

The word bailiff was applied to people in a variety of positions in the Middle Ages, almost as the word officer is today.

Early on, a bailiff was an administrative officer, as a sheriff, mayor, or administrator for a subdivision of a county known as a hundred.

Later, that use continued, but in some places the title of bailiff seems to have been applied to a reeve, who organized the land on the manor.

The bailiffs wife did what women did in those days. Get up at dawn, prepare the food for the day, feed the animals, help with planting the crops, help with picking the crop, make the candles, spin the wool, have the babies, feed the babies, do her duty for the lord of the keep, and finally at sunset go to back to bed.
