Queens' College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. It was first founded in 1448 by Margaret of Anjou (the Queen of Henry VI), and refounded in 1465 by Elizabeth Woodville (the Queen of Edward IV). This dual foundation is reflected in its orthography: Queens', not Queen's, although the full name is The Queen's College of St Margaret and St Bernard, commonly called Queens' College, in the University of Cambridge. Queens' is the second southernmost of the colleges on the banks of the Cam, primarily on the East bank. (The others - in distance order - are King's, Clare, Trinity Hall, Trinity, St John's, and Magdalene to the north and Darwin to the south.) The President's Lodge of Queens' is the oldest building on the river at Cambridge (ca. 1460). Queens' College is also one of only two colleges with buildings on its main site on both sides of the River Cam (the other being St John's).
