Oxford University at Reading

In 1355 Oxford University was in turmoil. There were riots in the town between the students and the townspeople. This became so bad that the Grey Friars, who ran the university, decided to move to their brother monks in Reading. So the University moved from Oxford to Reading, and wished to stay. The people of Reading were not interested however, and within a few years the university moved back to Oxford.
