Though I don't know why he had his dwarf sit silently under the dinner table while dressed as a clown... And no mention of Tycho's golden nose and his wild drunken parties! He's such an interesting figure. Instead all this about a dwarf. Lord Byron sounds like a good movie could be made of him though.
