WHAT DOES ESTATE OF THE REALM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

estate of the realm

Estates of the realm

The estates of the realm were the broad social orders of the hierarchically conceived society, recognized in the Middle Ages and Early Modern period in Christian Europe. They are sometimes distinguished as the three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and commoners, and are often referred to by medieval ranking of importance as the First, Second, and Third Estates respectively. In the scheme, God ordained the ministry, which was necessary to ordain the royalty and nobility, who settled privileges on the more prestigious commoners, or burghers. The term "Fourth Estate" emerged later, in reference to forces outside the established power structure, and is now most commonly used in reference to the independent press or media. During the Middle Ages individuals were born into their class, and change in social position, if possible at all, occurred slowly. The exception was the Medieval Church, which was the only institution where men could reach, in one lifetime, the highest positions in society.
