In 1514. she was devastated by wars and conflagrations, and the vehmic court of Eperjes was one of the most brutal events of the counter-reformation in Hungary. It was only King József II.

Therefore the Academy of Law settled over to Miskolc immediately, as the Teacher's Training School came to Miskolc, too. Trains started in these times every hour from Eperjes to Hungary.
