The Catholic University of Leuven is one of the oldest European universities.
Upon request of Duke of Brabant John V and the city of Leuven, Pope Martin V (1417-1431) signed on 9 December 1425 the bull enacting the foundation of the University of Leuven.
The University was closed during the French occupation (1797) and reopened by the Bishop of Leuven in 1834, after the independence of Belgium (1830).
