Oxford is a major city in the Thames Valley. It is said that ancient cows waded through the water, hence the name Oxford. Oxford has always been the focus of London's westbound route. As early as 1096, someone gave a lecture at Oxford.

12 century ago, there were no universities in Britain, and people went to France and other European countries to study.

1 167, the then king of England and the king of France had a quarrel. In a rage, the king of England recalled the British scholars who sent them to the University of Paris and prohibited them from going to the University of Paris again. Another way of saying it is that the French king, in a fit of pique, drove British scholars back to England from the University of Paris. In any case, these scholars returned from Paris and gathered in Oxford to teach and study scholasticism. So people began to regard Oxford as a "general study", which is actually the predecessor of Oxford University. Scholars gathered in Oxford because Henry II built one of his palaces in Oxford at that time, and scholars came here to protect the king.
