Count Raymond VII must finance school as penance
04/1229 AD founded
The formation of l'Université de Toulouse was imposed on Count Raymond VII as a part of the Treaty of Paris in 1229 ending the crusade against the Albigensians.
As he was suspected of sympathizing with the heretics, Raymond VII had to finance the teaching of theology.
Bishop Foulques de Toulouse was among the founders of the University.
