The College was founded around 1263 by John de Balliol under the guidance of the Bishop of Durham. After his death in 1269, his widow, Dervorguilla of Galloway, made arrangements to ensure the permanence of the College. She provided capital, and in 1282, formulated the College Statutes, documents that survive to this day * Text courtesy of Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balliol_College%2C_Oxford *
