A sheriff was a nobleman of any rank who was appointed by the king to supervise a particular county or large city. The word derives from Old English scir-gerefa, a shire official. So "sheriff" is a specific task, not a rank.
Perhaps the main task of each sheriff was to ensure that taxes and other incomes were collected, accounts and records were strictly kept and passed on to the king's treasury. Naturally there was a rake-off for the sheriff himself. He was also responsible for passing on royal commands and enforcing any royal proclamations in his jurisdiction.
