I have consulted one of our Swedish astronomers, and he tells me that Tycho
fought a duel while he was a student, perhaps in Germany(?). At the time, the epee
or foil dueling swords were not in vogue amongst the Danish nobles, so the duel
was fought with broadswords! That was when his nose was more likely crushed than
lopped off. That's all I know. Sounds like a job for the Creative Anachronism's
folks to me.
