The Brahe family (originally Bragde) refers to two closely related noble families of Scanian origin that played significant roles in both Danish and Swedish history. The Danish branch became extinct in 1786, and the Swedish branch in 1930.
The first member of the family using the name Brahe is speculated to have been Verner Braghde from Halland.[1] Better documented is Peder Axelsen Brahe, who appears in late 14th century records. He had two sons, Thorkild and Axel Pedersen Brahe[da].
