	About Balliol College: History - The Archives
		The College, which was founded by John Balliol and Dervorguilla his wife about 1263 [1], is alone among the ancient foundations of the University of Oxford in having practically no direct records of its affairs in mediaeval times.
		Balliol, following the lead of other colleges, had its own stamps printed for use in the inter-college messenger service in 1885, but they were never issued because there was a clamp-down on this breach of the Post Office monopoly in 1886 [22].
		Balliol was closely connected with the Workers' Educational Association (WEA) and related movements as a result of the activities of AL Smith (Fellow, 1906 - 1922, Master 1924 - 1949) through whose offices it was also regularly the venue for WEA Summer Schools.

	John Balliol and the Nature of his accession.
		Balliol’s claim was through the elder daughter but was not through a direct male line from there (the claim was through his mother’s family.) Bruce on the other hand was a direct male line descendant of the younger daughter.
		John was found in contempt of court and sentenced to lose his three most important Castles and towns.
		John’s position was not helped at all by the fact that he was not a strong willed man and so could easily be brow-beaten by Edward, forced to back down by his rivals and dominated by his allies.
