Why is one sent to coventry?

It's just an old saying. The saying comes from the Round Heads being sent to prison in Coventry. Their punishment, besides being imprisoned was not to be spoken to. They were given the right to roam the grounds of their prison but strict orders were given that no one was permitted to speak to them. Thus, when someone is "Sent to Coventry" it means they are being ignored. Not sure if that is correct, Coventry was a Parliament stronghold, so it would be more likely that Royalist troops would have been sent there when captured.
