the Masters of the University they came together in the presence
of the Queen and Legate, having first suspended entirely all
lectures and debates, and strenuously demanded that justice be
shown them for such a wrong. For it seemed to them disgraceful
that so light an occasion as the transgression of certain
contemptible little clerks should be taken to create prejudice
against the whole university; but let him who was to blame in the
transgression be the one to suffer the penalty.

But when finally every sort of justice had been refused them by
the King and the Legate, as well as by the Bishop, there took
place a universal withdrawal of the Masters and a scattering of
the Scholars, the instruction of the Masters and the training of
the pupils coming to an end, so that not one person of note out
of them all remained in the city. And the city which was wont to
boast of her clerks now remained bereft of them.... Thus
withdrawing, the clerks betook themselves practically in a body
to the larger cities in various districts. But the largest part
of them chose the metropolitan city of Angers for their
university instruction. Thus, then, withdrawing from the City of
Paris, the nurse of Philosophy and the foster mother of Wisdom,
the clerks execrated the Roman Legate and cursed the womanish
arrogance of the Queen, nay, also, their infamous unanimity [in
the matter]....

At length, through the efforts of discreet persons, it was worked
out that, certain things being done to meet the situation as
required by the faults on both sides, peace was made up between
the clerks and citizens and the whole body of scholars was
recalled.[47]
