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.

No, a steward was not a peasant. Contrary to what is often stated, there was always a middle class in the Middle Ages, and stewards were members of the middle class. They were the equivalent of accountants or managers, and were educated, so they could keep notes and take care of bookkeeping.
During the Middle Ages, artists were mostly independent craftsmen. This put them outside the much talked about structure of medieval social classes, which consisted of peasants, nobles, and clergy. Along with merchants, craftsmen were what we would call middle class, a group most medieval social theorists chose to ignore when they wrote about the structure of feudalism.

Writers can belong to various social classes, as their income and status depend on factors such as their success, recognition, and opportunities. Some writers may achieve financial success and belong to the upper class, while others may struggle economically and belong to the middle or lower class. Ultimately, a writer's social class can be fluid and subject to change throughout their career.
