Balliol College (/ ˈ b eɪ l i əl /) is a constituent college of the University of Oxford. Founded in 1263 by John I de Balliol, it has a claim to be the oldest college in Oxford and the English-speaking world. Members of Balliol have been awarded 13 Nobel Prizes with 12 Laureates (the most of any Oxford college).
