The members of the new lodge thought it proper to honor the same woman, but used the appropriate gender ending to her name (i.e. <em>datter</em>).</p> <p>The lodge was named for Anna Kolbjørnsdatter (1665 to 1736), the heroine who saved Norway from being captured by the Swedish army. She also saved the silver mines in Kongsberg from being taken by Sweden in 1716. To read more about Anna Kolbjørnsdatter in Norwegian, read the original <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110725221354/http://www.dokpro.uio.no/wergeland/WIV2/WIV2019.html">history of the war with Sweden</a> (1710-1720) by the famous Norwegian historian Henrik Wergeland. To read more about her in English, the story is told in a<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110725221354/http://books.google.com/books?id=ucgNAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA23&lpg=PA23&dq=Anna+Kolbjernsdatter&source=bl&ots=-dyoV6wNnL&sig=XEZw3DjhR5s3qSks7Sfd2FlpowY&hl=en&ei=WstjS96dMYqmsgPx8KydAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Anna%20Kolbjernsdatter&f=false"> handbook for travelers.</a></p> <div class="message-box"> <p>King Carl [of Sweden] sat in Christiania, laying siege to Akershus castle in vain. The common people from the area did his army great harm. He sent a regiment of [Swedish] dragoons under Colonel Løwen against Kongsberg, and the army set up their quarters in and around Norderhaug rectory. But they went no farther. The minister's wife Anna Kolbjørnsdatter Ramus gave 600 Norwegian dragoons who waited in Nærheden information about the Sedes' plan. [She] signaled them to attack with a bonfire that [she] implied was to warm the night watch. Thor Hovland guided the Norwegians to the watch keepers. </p> <p class="size-down">Translation of Henrik Wergeland</p> </div> <ol class="end_notes"> <li><sup>1</sup> Lodge does <strong>not</strong> hold meetings in July and August.
