Extra Information and clarifications.

0:36 This map isn't a completely accurate representation of Cambridge in the 16th century as it is an artistic rendition of an 16th century artistic rendition of Cambridge.
It also shows Cambridge as it was in the 16th century even though the video talks about events prior to that date.
This is because I don't think a map of Cambridge that's dated earlier then the 16th century exists or if it does I was unable to find it, hence the 16th century map.

2:06 Milton Keynes didn't exist at this point. Well at least not as it is now. The city was part of a new development project in the 1960s. Before that the area was mostly farmland with very small population. It was inhabited ever since the bronze age it just never was an established city or even a town until the 1960s. I put it in because I simply made a mistake.

2:17 This could have been more than three or even less, it's hard to prove where one was born in the 12th century. Not many birth certificates where printed out at that time.

2:27 Technically he was only a “master of the scholars” since the chancellery didn't exist yet but in practice he basically over saw all the day to day administrations of the University just like a chancellor would.

3:17 Another reason for staying may have been that Cambridge had a presence of ecclesiastical courts for the bishopric of Ely meaning students and specially law students would have had a great opportunity to work in the town as well as learn.

3:48 Joined by the Dominicans in 1238.

5:35 However there where new Universities in Scotland due to the fact that the oath by Cambridge and Oxford pertained only to England.

5:44 Hostels and halls are basically the same thing and the words are used interchangeable for the most part. However the main difference is that the words hostel was mainly used in Cambridge as the word Hall was mainly used in Oxford.
I also show the location of St Bernard's hostel in the video.

5:52 Hostels like St Bernard's or Physwick.

6:09 Starting in around the 15th century.

6:25 M. Laser is an idiot who can't do History.

7:02 Gonville Hall unlike where today's Gonville & Caius College stands was located at what is today the garden of Corpus Chirsti College.

8:35 6 of which survived to this day and King’s Hall and Michaelhouse got absorbed in to today's Trinity College.

9:34 Allegedly one of the leaders of the rioters was the mayor of Cambridge.

9:44 Back then Corpus Christi College was located a bit more up street than it is today.
