Answer:

The Third Estate wanted to have equal rights to the other two estates. Sent forces to arrest Third Estate after they were locked out of their meeting place and relocated to the Tennis Courts. Once Louis XVI heard this, he sent forces to arrest them. They won out and on January 21, 1793, Louis XVI was guillotined.
