Et ecce, peractus singulis, quidam Scotus montanus ante thronum subito genuflectens materna lingua regem inclinato capite salutavit hiis Scoticis verbis, dicens: 'Benach de Re Albanne Alexander, mac Alexander, mac Vleyham, mac Henri, mac David', et sic pronunciando regum Scotorum genealogiam usque in finem legebat.
In order that he might establish an astronomical school at Prague, he wrote to Longomontanus, Kepler, Muller, David Fabricius, and two students at Wittemberg, who were good calculators, requesting them to reside with him at Benach, as his assistants and pupils: He at the same time dispatched his destined son-in-law, Tengnagel, accompanied by Pascal Muleus, to bring home his wife and daughters from Wandesberg, and his instruments from Huen; and he begged that Longomontanus would accompany them to Denmark, and return in the same carriage with them to Bohemia.
In the meantime, he gave him the choice of the castles of Brandisium, Lyssa, and Benach as his country residence; and after visiting them about the end of May, Tycho gave the preference to Benach, which was situated upon a rising ground, and commanded an extensive horizon.
Tycho received him with great kindness, notwithstanding the part which he had taken against him along with Raimar, and he spent three or four months with him at Benach.
Tycho's Labours do honour to his Country Death of Frederick II. James VI. of Scotland visits Tycho at Uraniburg Christian IV. visits Tycho The Duke of Brunswick's visit to Tycho The Danish Nobility, jealous of his fame, conspire against him He is compelled to quit Uraniburg And to abandon his Studies Cruelty of the Minister Walchendorp Tycho quits Denmark with his Family and Instruments Is hospitably received by Count Rantzau Who introduces him to the Emperor Rudolph The Emperor invites him to Prague He gives him a Pension of 3000 Crowns And the Castle of Benach as a Residence and an Observatory Kepler visits Tycho Who obtains for him the Appointment of Mathematician to Rudolph.
Kepler arrived at Prague in January 1600, and, after spending three or four months at Benach, in carrying on his inquiries and in making astronomical observations, he returned to Gratz. Tycho had undertaken to obtain for him the appointment of his assistant.
Kepler, accordingly, returned in September 1601, and, on the recommendation of his friend, he was named imperial mathematician, on the condition of assisting Tycho in his observations. Tycho had experienced much inconvenience in his residence at Benach, from his ignorance of the language and customs of the country, as well as from other causes.
