Palace of Versailles

Many things happened at the Palace of Versailles, one the October Days, where the woman of a neighborhood of Paris, rioted and stormed the palace ("Versailles..."). The Royal Tennis Court, a short walk away from the palace itself, the third estate, the peasant poor and a couple of people from the clergy met and swore and oath, called The Tennis Court Oath, on the 20th of June, 1789 ("Versailles..."). This oath was about a vow to never dissolve the session until France had a written constitution("Versailles..."). About three days later, the army attempted to remove them from the tennis court ("Versailles..."). King Louis XVI was forced to leave the Palace of Versailles the same month the October Days Riot took place, October of 1789 ("Versailles...").
