During the French Revolution, the destruction of feudalism was a complex and significant process. Revolutionaries abolished feudal privileges, such as seigneurial rights and corvées, through decrees such as the Night of August 4, 1789. This led to a redistribution of land and the emancipation of peasants, ending centuries of feudal rule. In addition, the Revolution led to the abolition of noble titles and the confiscation of church property, further weakening the feudal system. These changes contributed to the emergence of a more egalitarian society and marked the end of the ancien régime in France.
