Henry was the eldest son of Francis Knollys and Catherine Carey and was born the Tuesday before Easter Day in 1541, which would be about the 12 April. [1]
On 16 July 1565 he married Margaret Cave, daughter of wealthy diplomat Sir Ambrose Cave. Their marriage took place at Durham house on The Strand and was attended by Queen Elizabeth. The festivities apparently included a feast, a ball, a tourney, two masques that went on until about 1:30 in the morning! [2] [3]
