The society of estates was part of the feudal system that dated back to the Middle Ages. The
term Old Regime is usually used to describe the society and institutions of France before
1789.
French society was organised in system of estates. Peasants made up about 90 per cent of the
population. However, only a small number of them owned the land they cultivated. About 60
per cent of the land was owned by nobles, the Church and other richer members of the third
estate. The members of the first two estates, that is, the clergy and the nobility, enjoyed
certain privileges by birth. The most important of these was exemption from paying taxes to
the state. The nobles further enjoyed feudal privileges. These included feudal dues, which
they extracted from the peasants. 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.
