The President of the Council, Christopher Walchendorp, and the King's Chancellor, were the most active of the enemies of Tycho; and, having poisoned the mind of their sovereign against the most meritorious of his subjects, Tycho was deprived of his canonry, his estate in Norway, and his pension.
When Walchendorp, the President of the Council, kicked his favourite hound, it was no proof of irritability of character that Tycho expressed in strong terms his disapprobation of the deed. See the Life of Kepler. It was, doubtless, a greater weakness in his character that he indulged his turn for satire, without being able to bear retaliation.
Armed with this report, Walchendorp prohibited Tycho, in the King's name, from continuing his chemical experiments; and instigated, no doubt, by this wicked minister, an attack was made upon himself, and his shepherd or his steward was injured in the affray. Tycho was provoked to revenge himself upon his enemies, and the judge was commanded not to interfere in the matter.
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.
The President of the Council, Walchendorp a name which, while the heavens revolve, will be pronounced with horror by astronomers saw the change of sentiment which his injustice had produced, and adopted an artful method of sheltering himself from public odium.
