3rd estate
In the National Assembly in France during the time of the French Revolution, as you know was separated into three estates. The first estate consisted of the clergy who were hardly taxed and enjoyed many privileges. The second estate was filled with nobles so high class citizens. They too paid next to no taxes and had dominance over the third estate. The third and final estate consisted of commoners, anyone from bankers to peasants were unfairly categorized and bundled up into this single heap of French citizens. This group of people would pay almost all of the taxes in France and owned the majority of the total land in France. Now in the National Assembly each estate would get one vote. The first and second estates would team up and had authority over the third estate, unfairly dominating and suppressing the views and values of the third estate.
The castle, village, and land of a lord's estate were often called Feudal lands. The castle could be called the manor.

The relationship between the percentage of the population in each estate and the percentage of land owned by that estate was often starkly unequal, particularly in pre-revolutionary France. The First Estate (clergy) and the Second Estate (nobility) comprised a small percentage of the population but owned a disproportionate amount of land, while the Third Estate (commoners) represented the vast majority of the population yet had limited land ownership. This disparity contributed to social tensions and eventual calls for reform, as the wealthy minority held significant resources and privileges compared to the impoverished majority.
The estate to which the clergy belonged in the context of pre-revolutionary France is known as the "First Estate." This estate was one of the three social classes in the Estates-General, alongside the nobility (Second Estate) and the common people (Third Estate). The clergy held significant social and political influence, as well as considerable wealth, primarily through land ownership and tithes.
