first estate
The first estate is a term used in pre-revolutionary France and other feudal societies to refer to the clergy, including both the higher (bishops, archbishops, etc.) and lower (priests, monks, nuns, etc.) ranks. As part of the Old Regime, they were the first of three social classes or 'estates,' with the other two being the aristocracy and the commoners. The first estate had particular privileges, including exemption from certain taxes, due to their spiritual role.
