History

The papal bull of Pope Paul II that allowed King Matthias of Hungary to establish a university was issued on May 19, 1465. The university was opened in Pozsony because Gmaintl István, a burgher of Pozsony, left his properties on the treasury. The head of the university became Archbishop Vitéz János of Esztergom, who was also its greatest sponsor. He invited renowned professors from abroad, but he himself was also a highly educated humanist. Sorrowfully Vitéz János led a conspiracy against King Matthias in 1671 and died in 1672, which meant also the demise of the university. The education ceased officially with the death of King Matthias in 1490. Emperor Joseph II was the next ruler to open a university in Pozsony in 1784.
