It was a strange episode since it did not appear to cause any family disputes nor did his parents try to take him back. Jorgen Brahe and his wife Inger Oxe had no children of their own, and they acted as foster parents to Tycho until Jorgen's death. Jorgen Brahe, like his brother Otte Brahe, was a leading Danish noble while Inger Oxe was the sister of Peder Oxe who was a member of the Rigsraads, the governing council consisting of 20 advisors to the King.
Ito ay isang kakaibang episode dahil ito ay hindi lalabas upang maging sanhi ng anumang mga alitan ng pamilya o ang kanyang mga magulang ay subukang mag-back sa kanya. Jorgen Brahe at kanyang asawa Inger Oxe ay walang mga bata ng kani-kanilang mga sarili, at sila acted kinakapatid na bilang mga magulang sa Tycho hanggang Jorgen ng kamatayan. Jorgen Brahe, tulad ng kanyang mga kapatid na lalaki Otte Brahe, ay isang nangungunang Danish marangal habang Inger Oxe ay ang kapatid na babae ng Peder na nag Oxe ay isang miyembro ng Rigsraads, ang mga namumunong konseho na binubuo ng 20 advisors sa King.
