Have you heard of the Legend of danish Astronomer Tyco Brahe? Well of course it's a tale they don't tell you in schools. At the age of 1 he was kidnapped by his uncle and his parents did not care and let him raise the child. In University he got into a duel over mathematics and part of his nose was cut and replaced with a brass artificial one.
He was good friends with the Danish King and got a private island and observatory where he had a castle and a dungeon. He had servants act as soldiers and made numerous astrological scientific discoveries.
Most notable of all he had a friend named Jeppe whom Tyco was convinced was a Psychic Dwarf, he had a pet elk(male deer) who died while falling down the stairs because it was drunk.
He was exiled to Copenhagen because he had bad relations with the new 11-Year old Danish king after the old one died, and had his entire island confiscated.
He died after drinking so much alcohol in a banquet and being so drunk he didn't pee for 3 days, causing his bladders to explode internally .
