    Default Elizabeth I Knighthoods

    I am trying to find a date / year for a Knighthood bestowed by Eliz I between 1572 & 1578.

    Does anyone know of a source of such information.

    Thanks, Finbar,
    Already scoured every inch of that site - chap I'm looking for is there on many occasions, but not the date of knighthood.

    Yes, I have that too. There are several who were not knighted prior to becoming Lord Mayor. It was not a prerequisite.

    The first ref that I have for him as a Knight is Feb 11th 1579, and then Mar 26th 1579. He was an Alderman from 1570-87, and Sheriff for 1572-73, but prior to 1579 is always referred to without the title, so I assume that the Knighthood was 1578 or early 1579, but can't find it.
