For 300 years, Swedish students attended the university in Paris. They were fairly numerous from the 1210s, when the universities got their first statutes, until the end of the 1400s, when the once pan-European university became a French institution. Druing those 300 years, many travelled to Paris for intellectual improvement. But how many were they? Who acquired a degree? Who taught them? And from where did the Swedish students come? These questions are not so easy to answer. The frequently incomplete source material frustrates any ambition to provide accurate information. However, the situation is not completely hopeless. After all, it is possible to derive from the surviving sources some patterns and trends over time.
