Zero. The Clergy were the FIRST Estate.
In the context of the French Parliament, "estate" refers to a social class or division within society, particularly as it relates to the pre-Revolutionary structure of French society. Historically, France was divided into three estates: the First Estate (clergy), the Second Estate (nobility), and the Third Estate (commoners). This classification influenced political representation and power dynamics, especially during the Estates-General of 1789, which ultimately contributed to the French Revolution. The term reflects the hierarchical nature of French society before the establishment of a more egalitarian government.
Just before the French revolution, the 3 estates of French society were the first estate made up of the Clergy, the second estate made up of nobles and the third estate made up of the peasants. During this time, the first estate made up 0.5% of the population, the second estate made up 1.5% and the third estate made up the remaining 98%.
The third estate in pre-Revolutionary France was the commoners. This made up the majority of the French population. The first and second estate were the nobility and the clergy, who basically allowed the king whatever he wanted.

It was the third estate which is also the commoners.
The divisions in society were referred to as the Estates. The first Estate was the clergy members. The second Estate was the nobility. Then finally the third Estate was everyone else. The first two Estates made up 3% of the population. The Third Estate made up 97% of the population. However, each Estate got one third of the say, meaning that the 3% of the population could out rule anything the Third Estate said. The divisions in society basically gave the Third Estate no right in government and when they became fed up, they fought back; leading to the French Revolution.
They defied the Monarchy and the Clergy and demanded a constitutional government.
