Thomas Knyvett
Sir Thomas Knyvett (also Knevitt or Knivet or Knevet), of Buckenham, Norfolk (c. 1485 - 10 August 1512) was a young English nobleman who was a close associate of King Henry VIII shortly after that monarch came to the throne. According to Hall's ''Chronicle'',〔Hall, Edward, ''The Vnion Of The Two Noble And Illustre Famelies Of Lancastre & Yorke'' (London, 1548). Generally known as "Hall's ''Chronicle''," this contemporary history remains an important source of Tudor history. The 1809 edition, which is available (online ), describes the death of Thomas Knyvett pp. 534 ff.〕 Knyvett was a frequent participant in the jousts and pageants of the new king's glittering court and was made Henry's Master of the Horse in 1510.
==Death==
When Henry declared war on France in 1512, Knyvett, along with Sir John Carew, was given command of the royal flagship, the ''Regent''. With a number of court favourites commanding other vessels, a small fleet set sail for the coast of Brittany. On 10 August 1512 they engaged a slightly larger French fleet, and a violent melee known as the Battle of St. Mathieu ensued off the coast of Brest. Knyvett's ship grappled with the Breton command vessel ''Cordelière'', and was engaged in boarding her when the ''Cordelières powder magazine blew up (some say it was deliberately ignited). The two vessels burst into flame. Knyvett and Carew both perished, along with the Breton captain Hervé de Portzmoguer and more than 1,700 men, both French and English.
