See also:TAUSEN, HANS (1494-1561) , the protagonist of the Danish See also:Reformation, was See also:born at Birkende in Funen in 1494. The See also:quick-witted See also:peasant lad ran away from the plough at an See also:early See also:age, finally settling down as a See also:friar in the Johannite See also:cloister of Antvorskov near Slagelse. After studying at See also:Rostock and teaching there for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time and also at See also:Copenhagen, he was again sent abroad by his. See also:prior, visiting, among other places, the newly founded university of See also:Leyden and making the acquaintance of the Dutch humanists. He was already a See also:good linguist, understanding both Latin and See also:Hebrew. Subsequently he translated the books of See also:Moses from the See also:original. In May 1523 Tausen went to See also:Wittenberg, where he studied for a See also:year and a See also:half, when he was recalled to Antvorskov. In consequence of his professed See also:attachment to the doctrines of See also:Luther he was first imprisoned in the dungeons of Antvorskov and thence transferred, in the See also:spring of 1525, to the See also:Grey Friars' cloister at See also:Viborg in See also:Jutland, where he preached from his See also:prison to the See also:people assembled outside, till his prior, whom he won over to his views, permitted him to use the See also:pulpit of the priory See also:- CHURCH

church. At Viborg the See also:seed sown by Tausen See also:fell upon good See also:soil. Several See also:young men in the See also:town had studied at Wittenberg, and the burghers, in their Lutheran zeal, had already expelled their youthful See also:Bishop Jorgen See also:Friis. Tausen's See also:preaching was so revolutionary that he no longer See also:felt safe among the See also:Franciscans, so he boldly discarded his monastic See also:habit and placed himself under the See also:protection of the burgesses of Viborg. At first he preached in the See also:parish church of St See also:John, but this soon growing too small for him he addressed the people in the See also:market-See also:place from the church See also:tower. When the Franciscans refused to allow him to preach in their large church, the See also:mob See also:broke in by force. A See also:compromise was at last arranged, whereby the friars were to preach in the forenoon and Tausen in the afternoon. The bishop, very naturally averse to these high-handed proceedings, sent armed men to the church to See also:arrest Tausen, but the burghers, who had brought their weapons with them, drove back " the bishop's swains."

King See also:Frederick I., during his visit to See also:Aalborg, took Hans Tausen under his protection, appointed him one of his chaplains, and charged him to continue for a time "to preach the See also:holy See also:Gospel" to the citizens of Viborg, who were to be responsible for his safety, thus identifying himself with the new doctrines in See also:direct contravention of the See also:plain See also:letter of his See also:coronation See also:oath. Tausen found a diligent See also:fellow-worker in Jorgen Viberg, better known as See also:Sadolin, whose See also:sister, Dorothea, he married, to the See also:great See also:scandal of the Catholics. He was indeed the first Danish See also:priest who took unto himself a wife. He was also the first of the reformers who used Danish instead of Latin in the church services, the " Even See also:song " he introduced at Viborg being of great beauty. Tausen was certainly the most practically gifted of all the new native teachers. But he was stronger as a preacher and an agitator than as a writer, the See also:pamphlets which he now issued from the See also:press of his colleague the ex-priest Hans Vingaard, who settled downat Viborg as a printer, being little more than adaptations of Luther's opuscula. He continued to preach in the Grey Friars' church, while Sadolin, whom he had " consecrated " a priest, officiated at the church of the See also:Dominicans, who had already fled from the town. The stouter-hearted Franciscans only yielded to violence persistently applied by the soldiers whom their opponents quartered upon them. In 1520 Tausen's " See also:mission " at Viborg came to an end. King Frederick now recommended him to Copenhagen to preach See also:heresy at the church of St See also:Nicholas, but here he found an able and intrepid opponent in Bishop Ronne. Serious disturbances thereupon ensued; and the Protestants, getting the worst of the See also:argument, silenced their gainsayers by insulting the bishops and priests in the streets and profaning and devastating the See also:Catholic churches. A Herredag, or See also:Assembly of Nobles, was held at Copenhagen on the 2nd of See also:July 1530, ostensibly to mediate between the two conflicting confessions, but the king, from policy, and the See also:nobility, from covetousness of the estates of the prelates, made no See also:attempt to prevent the excesses of the See also:Protestant See also:rabble, openly encouraged by Tausen. On the other See also:hand, the preachers failed to obtain the See also:repeal of the See also:Odense See also:recess of 1527 which had subjected them to the spiritual See also:jurisdiction of the prelates. On the See also:death of King Frederick, Tausen, at the instance of Ronne, was, at the Herredag of 1533, convicted of See also:blasphemy and condemned to See also:expulsion from the See also:diocese of Sjaelland, whereupon the mob See also:rose in arms against the bishop, who would have been murdered but for the courageous intervention of Tausen, who conducted him See also:home in safety. The See also:noble-minded Ronne thereupon, from gratitude, permitted Tausen to preach in all his churches on See also:condition that he moderated his See also:tone. On the final See also:triumph of the Re-formation Tausen was appointed bishop of Ribe (1542), an See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office he held with great zeal and fidelity for twenty years.
