The Third Estate was a term used during the French Revolution to describe the commoners and working-class individuals who made up the largest segment of society but had the least political power. They were typically burdened with heavy taxes and lacked representation in government, leading to their grievances and eventual uprising against the monarchy.
That was the date that the Tennis Court Oath was taken by the representatives of the Third Estate.
The official date for the start of the French Revolution is the 14th of July 1789. That was the day of the storming of the Bastille and the Tennis Court oath.
