The University of Oxford (informally Oxford University or simply Oxford) is a collegiate research university located in Oxford, England, United Kingdom. While having no known date of foundation, there is evidence of teaching as far back as 1096, making it the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's second-oldest university in continuous operation. It grew rapidly from 1167 when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris. After disputes between students and Oxford townsfolk in 1209, some academics fled northeast to Cambridge where they established what became the University of Cambridge. The two "ancient universities" are frequently jointly referred to as "Oxbridge".[1]
In 1811, Oxford and Cambridge were the only two universities in England and any LL character who went to university went to one of these - while there were universities in Scotland, distance, prejudice and disdain meant that scholars of these were usually Scottish.
Subjects taught were limited: Mathematics, chemistry, law, theology and the Classics (including reading Greek and Latin).
