the diocese of Sjælland, whereupon the mob rose in arms against the bishop, who would have been murdered but for the intervention of Tausen, who conducted him home in safety. Rønne thereupon, from gratitude, permitted Tausen to preach in all his churches on condition that he moderated his tone. On the final triumph of the Reformation Tausen was appointed Bishop of Ribe (1542), an office he held for twenty years. Memorials Hans Tausen's Church at Islands Brygge was inaugurated on 30 November 1924. A modern monument in memory of Hans Tausen was erected in 2004, this time in Viborg, in commemoration of the town's 475th year since its reformation. The monument was made by the Danish artist Bjørn Nørgaard.
