Anthony Knivert

Anthony Knivert runs with the young Henry VIII's inner circle, a jouster and hunting companion who lives for the pleasures of the Tudor court — wine, women, sport, and the king's favor. Handsome and easy in his charm, he treats loyalty to Henry as both duty and appetite, chasing pleasure with the same energy he brings to the tiltyard.

Callum Blue plays him with a loose, sun-warmed swagger that makes the court's early hedonism feel genuinely fun rather than just decadent set dressing. Knivert exists to show what proximity to a young king actually looked like — reckless, physical, unbothered by consequence — and Blue's easy charisma makes that recklessness charming before the show's darker machinery starts turning.
