Two contemporary Anthony Knyvetts

There were 2 contemporary Anthony Knyvetts: we have articles for Anthony Knyvett (1507–1554), and Anthony Knyvett (Black Rod) (c. 1486 to 1549). I have moved material relating to Calais and the Tower of London from the latter to the former based on my understanding of the references. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:50, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In his statement in Wyatt's rebellion in 1554, he signs himself ''Anthony Knyvet, esq.'' See: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/History_of_England_(Froude)/Chapter_31

Hence, he was never knighted, and all references of the period to a Sir Anthony Knyvet(t)'' or Anthony Knyvet, knight'', must necessarily be the other one.

Shaw, William Arthur; Burtchaell, George Dames (1906). The Knights of England. A complete record from the earliest time to the present day of the knights of all the orders of chivalry in England, Scotland, and Ireland, and of knights bachelors, incorporating a complete list of knights bachelors dubbed in Ireland. Robarts - University of Toronto. London Sherratt and Hughes, lists only the knighting of one Anthony Knyvet(t), on p. 51. This must necessarily be the Black Rod. And then the Black Rod was also the Porter of Calais. ~~~~ BrightGold (talk) 14:29, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
