## History

#### Ducal Era

The university was founded on June 10, 107, during the Grand Duchy of Kralfald, and originally only consisted of the colleges of theology and arts and sciences. Its earliest students primarily consisted of future Haltarist clergymen and historians.

In 114, the College of Law was built, and thus expanded the scope of the university. As graduates became educated in law, and thus able to garner positions in the royal court, the reputation of the university significantly improved.

#### Kingdom Era

The university continued to succeed under ownership of the church, and in the year 120 expanded again, having built the College of Economics. The Kralfaldic kings frequently made visits to the university for prospective advisors in the royal court. In 160, the university was recorded as having over a thousand students, making it by far the largest at the time.

#### Imperial Era

In June of 290, as the university struggled to maintain itself due to financial struggle, Markas II ordered for state acquisition from the Church of Haltar, so that it could be funded by tax revenue. As a result, the university was able to flourish yet again, producing many successful graduates. In 360, the College of Engineering was built, allowing for students to enter into the field of innovation. In 366, the university opened admissions to non-Haltarists, including Akudi and Esernian students. In 435, the university allowed women to attend.

Since the establishment of the constitutional monarchy in 367, 5 of the 10 minister presidents of Kroftland have been University of Kralstod graduates.
