Collège de Montaigu

The Collège de Montaigu was one of the constituent colleges of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Paris.

[1] It changed its name after it had been restored in 1388 by his relative Pierre Aycelin de Montaigut, Bishop of Nevers and Laon.

Under his leadership and that of his disciple Noël Béda, Montaigu was one of the leading theological colleges of Paris.

Students at the college included Erasmus of Rotterdam, John Calvin, and Ignatius of Loyola (before moving to Collège de Sainte-Barbe).

Other notable students were the influential Portuguese teacher and diplomat Diogo de Gouveia.
