1364
The Polish king, eager to give his kingdom the trappings of high European civilization, established a studium generale on the model of Bologna. The institution would later be refounded by Queen Jadwiga's bequest and become one of the great universities of Central Europe, training generations of clerks, mathematicians, and astronomers.
