    Tennis Court Oath is the key event previous to the French Revolution when members of the French Third Estate gave an oath not to separate regarding the circumstance.

    The name came from the fact that the oath was made to an indoor tennis court. The members were locked out of their meeting hall at Versailles (probably due to the king's idea that they should disassemble) so they went to the nearby place, which happened to be a tennis court.
