<p> a province of Denmark, contains, since the [[Peace]] of [[Vienna]] of Oct. 30, 1864, which regulated the frontier between [[Denmark]] and Germany, 9738 square miles; and in 1880 had 788,119 inhabitants. It constitutes the northern part of the Cimbrian peninsula, and is bounded on the north by the Skagerrack, on the east by the Kattegat, on the south by Schleswig, and on the west by the German Sea. Originally the [[Cimbri]] are said to have lived there; subsequently the country was occupied by the Juts, a Saxon tribe. At the beginning of the 10th century it was conquered by the Danish king Gorm, and since then it has been a part of the kingdom of Denmark. [[Christianity]] was introduced into [[Jutland]] by [[Ansgar]] (q.v.), and the Christianization of the country was completed within a comparatively short period. The first church was erected at Ribe. The [[Reformation]] was first carried through in the city of Viborg by the efforts of Hans Yansen a young peasant from the island of Fuhnen. Jutland has now four Lutheran dioceses Aalborg, Viborg, Aarhuus, and Ribe. (See [[Denmark]]).
