Notes for Joakim Brahe (Pedersson)
Joakim Brahe var son till häradshövdingen Peder Magnusson Brahe och Öllegård Turesdotter. Brahe ägde Tärnö vid sjön Långhalsen i Husby-Oppunda socken, Rydboholms slott i Östra Ryds socken och Lindholmens gård i Orkesta socken. Han halshöggs 8 november 1520 på vid Stockholms blodbad på Stortorget, Stockholm.[
Joakim Brahe sympatiserade med Sturarna mot den danske kungen, men han fick betala ett högt pris för sitt politiska engagemang och avrättades av Kristian II i Stockholms blodbad 1520 på grund av sin lojalitet med Sturepartiet.
Brahe gifte sig 30 mars 1516 på Tre Kronor med Gustav Vasas syster Margareta Eriksdotter (Vasa) (död 1536). Riksföreståndaren Sten Sture den yngre höll i deras bröllop. Margareta Eriksdotter var dotter till riksrådet Erik Johansson (Vasa) och Cecilia Månsdotter (Eka). Joakim Brahe och Margareta Eriksdotter fick tillsammans barnen Mauritz Brahe (född 1517) till Tärnö, Brita Brahe (1518–1554) som var gift med krigsöversten Birger Nilsson Grip, Öllegård Brahe (1519–1527) och riksdrotsen Per Brahe den äldre (1520–1590).

Notes for Margareta (Spouse 1)
Margareta Vasa was the sister of Gustav Vasa. She married Joakim Brahe on March 30, 1516 and had the children Brita and Per (known as Per Brahe d. Ä.).
Joakim was executed in the Stockholm massacre in 1520, when her father Erik Vasa was also executed. She inherited Rydbyholm from her executed father Erik Vasa.
Margareta was taken as a prisoner to Copenhagen, where she lived in prison custody in the Blue Tower. Margareta's mother, Cecilia Månsdotter, her grandmother Sigrid Banér and her aunt Kristina Gyllenstierna were also imprisoned with her. Margareta survived, but her mother and several others died of the plague
Margareta returned to Sweden in 1524 and the following year she remarried the handsome German count Johan of Hoya. With Johan she had two sons.
Johan broke off the relationship with the king in 1534 and fled to Germany. Margareta and her son Per Brahe accompanied him to Germany. After Johan's death in 1535, Margareta did not dare to return for fear that the king would harm her children.
Margareta died on 31 December 1536 in Reval (now Tallinn in Estonia) and was buried in front of the high altar in the cathedral, St. Olaf's Church.
