King's College Cambridge is the third-largest of the 32 colleges comprising the University of Cambridge. It was founded in 1441 by Henry VI. The namesake chapel was begun 1446, but was not completed until 1544 by King Henry VIII following the end of the Hundred Years' War.
One famous alumnus is Alan Turing. During World War II Turing played a leading role in the cryptanalysis of German codes at Bletchley Park.
