=== Naming === The college is named for its first patroness, Queen Philippa. Established in January 1341 'under the name of the Hall of the Queen's scholars of Oxford' (''sub nomine aule scholarium Regine de Oxon''), the college was subsequently called the 'Queen's Hall', 'Queenhall' and 'Queen's College'. The Queen's College, Oxford Act 1584 ([[27 Eliz. 1]]. c. ''2'') sought to end this confusion by providing that it should be called by the one name "the Queen's College";<ref>''A History of the County of Oxford'': Volume 3: "The University of Oxford", 1954, p.132</ref> in practice, the definite article is usually omitted. The full name of the College, as indicated in its annual reports, is ''The Provost and Scholars of The Queen's College in the University of Oxford''.<ref name="Accounts2011">[http://www.queens.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/accounts.pdf Annual Report and Financial Statements, 2011] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120423102021/http://www.queens.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/accounts.pdf |date=23 April 2012 }}</ref> [[Queens' College, Cambridge|Queens' College]] in Cambridge positions its apostrophe differently and has no article, as it was named for multiple queens ([[Margaret of Anjou]] and [[Elizabeth Woodville]]).{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}
