Burgess (title)

Okay kiddo, so a burgess is a title given to someone who is like a boss in a town or city. They're kind of like the leader of the town. They help make sure things are running smoothly and everyone is following the rules. It's a name that was used a long time ago in some places, but some towns and cities still use it today for their leaders. It's like being the king or queen of a small town, but without all the fancy clothes and crown.
