The college has a claim to be "the oldest academical
society for the education of undergraduates in any university" and is the last
surviving medieval hall at the University of Oxford. The college was founded in
1236, some say in 1226, by St. Edward of Abingdon, Archbishop of Canterbury from
1233 to 1240, born as Edmund Rich around 1174. The college arms are attributed
to its founder. The birds are variously referred to as sea-pies, oyster-catchers
and Cornish choughs.
