History of University of Cambridge

By the late 12th century, the Cambridge region already had a scholarly and ecclesiastic name, because of monks from the near jurisdiction church of Ely. However, it had been an event at Oxford that is presumably to own shaped the institution of the university: 2 Oxford students were hanged by the city authorities for the death of a girl, while not consulting the ecclesiastic authorities, World Health Organization would usually take precedence (and pardon the scholars) in such a case, however were at that point in conflict with the King John. The University of Oxford went into suspension in protest, and most students affected to cities like Paris, Reading, and Cambridge. Once the University of Oxford reformed many years later, enough students remained in Cambridge to make the nucleus of the new university. So as to say precedence, it's common for Cambridge to trace its innovation to the 1231 charter from King Henry III granting it the proper to discipline its own members (ius non-trahi extra) associate degreed an exemption from some taxes. (Oxford wouldn't receive the same improvement till 1248.)

A bull in 1233 from Pope Gregory IX gave graduates from Cambridge the proper to show "everywhere in Christendom". Once Cambridge was delineated as a studium generale in a very letter by Pope Saint Nicholas IV in 1290, and confirmed per se in a very bull by Pope John XXII in 1318, it became common for researchers from alternative European medieval universities to go to Cambridge to review or to convey lecture courses.
