John de Balliol (b. before 1208, d.1268), magnate and benefactor. As the result of a conflict with Balliol's powerful neighbour, the bishop of Durham, he submitted himself to a public whipping in front of the cathedral church door and undertook to maintain scholars studying at Oxford. Balliol made some provision for this before his death, leaving further endowments in his will, and his widow Dervorguilla formulated the statutes of what became Balliol College in 1282. One of a set of forty-five 'Founders of Oxford and Cambridge Colleges, Royal Exchange, and Charterhouse' (this impression, bearing the name of H. Parker, is from the final state).
