Шаблон:Use dmy dates Sir Anthony Knyvett (circa 1507 – 1 March 1554) was an English courtier during the reign of King Henry VIII.
He was born in London, the son of Charles Knyvett, who was in the retinue of the Duke of Norfolk and John Bourchier, 2nd Baron Berners, the Deputy of Calais. He was described as a gentleman usher of the privy chamber to Henry VIII, with Roger Ratcliffe, in the Eltham Ordinance of 1526.[1]
He was the son of Charles Knyvett by[2] his wife Anne Lacy (d.1562), the daughter and heiress of Walter Lacy of London by his wife Lucy.[3] His uncle, Sir Edward Knyvet in his will proved 10 December 1528 instructed his executors "to bring up young Antony Knyvet, my nephew son of my brother Charles Knyvet deceased".[4]
Anthony was knighted around 1538 while serving as Porter of Calais.[5]
Knyvett was Lieutenant of the Tower of London and is mentioned in Foxe's Book of Martyrs for refusing to continue torturing the Protestant Anne Askew on the rack.[6] He was made Governor of Portsmouth in 1544 and oversaw the building of Southsea Castle in that year.[7] It is thought that he may have been involved in the fraud created by Elizabeth Crofts.[8]
In 1554, he joined Wyatt's Rebellion and was routed at the Battle of Hartley. He was executed at the Tower of London on 1 March 1554.[9]
