[2] In 1655 Lawes published his Second Book of Ayres and Dialogues[3] and he included poems by Knight as well as verses by Sir John Berkenhead and the poet Katherine Philips.
[1] Knight would go on to sing for the Queen and some say that she was a mistress of Charles II,[4] but there appears to be no evidence.
By the time of The Restoration of Charles II she was a famous singer and she was acknowledged in that role at court.
[1] Knight was giving public concerts in 1667 as Samuel Pepys notes in his diary that he had missed her singing at Gray's Inn Fields.
When William III came to power her annuity stopped, but it continued on appeal but reduced to £100 per year.
