Peasants made up about 90% of the population. But only a small number if them owned the land they cultivated. 60% of the land was owned by nobles, the churches & richer members of the third estate. The members of the 1 & 2 estate enjoyed certain privileges by birth. The important one was exemption from paying taxes , they also enjoyed feudal privileges. Whereas the peasants were obliged to render services to the lord-to work in his house and fields-to serve in the army or to participate in building roads.
