A bailiff on Hârn and in most feudal societies, is either a person appointed to run a manor on behalf of the owner, or the assistant to a Sheriff. If the former, a bailiff will manage the fief either for a fixed stipend or a percentage of the revenues and will reside in the manorhouse. If the latter, a bailiff will probably be one of several bailiffs in a shire responsible for royal justice in a subdivision of the shire, usually called a “hundred.” His formal title will then be “Bailiff of the Hundred” and he will reside in a manorhouse owned by the king.
