Otte was one of the members of the Rigsraad, and several members of his mother's family were also members of that body, so he was born into one of the most powerful families of his day.
One of his uncles, Jörgen Brahe, a very wealthy man in his own right, was childless, and prior to Tycho's birth, his parents had promised that they would allow Jörgen to adopt the boy, but after he was born, they refused to keep their word.

Tycho Brahe, a Danish nobleman, and Johannes Kepler, commoner, crossed paths during one of the times when scientific thought and philosophy was growing by huge leaps--the 17th Century or Age of Reason.
Brahe's castle and observatory were not only architecturally interesting, the life inside the walls was fraught with nasty doings.
To my mind, the relationship between Brahe and Kepler is one of the earliest examples of the experimentalist/theorist relationship and, unfortunately, it is the experimentalist who is often lost to history while the theorist is remembered.
