Mr Anderson was writing a book on the history of
Denmark. He went to Viborg in 1891. He wanted to study
the history of the town.
He stayed in an old building in Viborg — The Golden
Lion Inn. The inn was nearly 350 years old.
Anderson asked the landlord for a large room. The landlord
of The Golden Lion showed him two rooms - room
number 12 and room number 14. There were three large
windows in each room. The windows looked onto the
street. Anderson chose room number 12.
