Anthony Knyvett (1507–1554)

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 the son of Charles Knyvett by his wife Anne Lacy (d.1562), the daughter and heiress of Walter Lacy of London by his wife Lucy. 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".

It is thought that he may have been involved in the fraud created by Elizabeth Crofts.

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.
