Best Answer

About 80% of the Third Estate were agricultural workers or peasants who lived and worked on the land owned by the Nobility or the Catholic Church. They were the subsistence farmers, swineherds, shepherds, dairymen, milkmaids and vinters who produced the grain, meat, produce and wine that fed and clothed the nation.
