Brahe

Brahe (originally Bragde) is the name of two closely related Scanian noble families who were influential in both Danish and Swedish history.

The first member of the family using the name Brahe is speculated to have been Verner Braghde from Halland.

He had two sons, Thorkild and Axel Pedersen Brahe [da].
