Queens' College, Cambridge |
Queens' College was first founded in 1448 by Margaret of Anjou. It was refounded in 1465 by Elizabeth Woodville, the wife of Edward IV of England. This is reflected in orthography of the popular name: "Queens'" instead of "Queen's", although the full
name is The Queen's College of St. Margaret and St. Bernard. It is part of the University of Cambridge.
