I don't know what you're talking about. Coventry is a city in England.
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.
The term "being sent to Coventry" refers to the practice of ostracizing someone or ignoring them, and its origins are believed to date back to the English Civil War. Coventry was a city in England where Royalist prisoners were reportedly isolated from their peers, effectively punishing them by denying interaction with others. Over time, this practice evolved into a general expression for social exclusion, leading to its current usage. The phrase reflects the historical context of social and political divisions during that period.
