In 1349, while the Black Death still gripped England, a violent clash between Oxford University scholars and townspeople erupted on St Scholastica Day. Over two days, armed students and townsmen fought through the streets, leaving dozens dead. The episode explores the deep tensions between town and gown in medieval university towns, the rights and privileges of scholars, the role of the Chancellor's court in shielding students from civil law, and how the crown ultimately sided with the university. We discuss the causes: a tavern argument over bad ale, the royal charters that exempted scholars from local taxes and justice, the bishop of Lincoln's involvement, the brutal reprisals against the town, and the centuries of hostility that shaped Oxford's governance. Drawing on surviving court rolls and chronicles, we reveal how this forgotten riot foreshadowed the bitter conflicts between learning and commerce in medieval Europe. #StScholasticaDayRiot #OxfordUniversity #MedievalOxford #TownVsGown #BlackDeath #MedievalUniversities #1349 #Chancellor #EdwardIII #Oxford #History #FexingoHistory #MedievalEngland #StudentRiots #AcademicPrivilege #MedievalEducation #Violence #MedievalSociety Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
