Throughout the medieval period school was in a flourishing business; eleventh century Pavia became the seat also un'attestata law school. However, it is only thanks to Emperor Charles IV in 1361, which was founded in Pavia a Studium Generale, which Pope Boniface IX recognized the same rights as the University of Bologna and Paris. With imperial diploma dated 1485 the Studium Generale was then transformed into a University.
