Sir William Knighton (): Part 1 Regency physician

Sir William Knighton from Memoirs of Sir William Knighton by Lady Knighton ()

Obituary in the Medical Gazette

“Sir William was unquestionably a man of excellent talents; but he was still more conspicuous for his fine sagacity and knowledge of the world. His success in life was remarkable; such was at one time his interest at court, that it is quite certain he might have commanded almost anything which the highest influence in the empire could bestow; yet he never showed himself either avaricious or greedy of honours.”

There were no indications from William Knighton’s early life that he was destined for greatness. He was baptised in January , in Bere Ferrers in Devon, the only son of William Knighton, a farmer, and his wife, Dorothy Hill.

Confidential advisor to the Regent

In , Knighton was appointed physician-in-ordinary to the future George IV. It was soon evident that Knighton was George&#;s new favourite. In January , Knighton was created a baronet. To receive this honour after being physician-in-ordinary to the Regent for only a year was exceptional. But Knighton&#;s services to the Regent were by no means limited to the medical sphere. George increasingly relied upon Knighton to conduct his confidential business as well as to provide him with emotional support following the deaths of Princess Charlottein , his mother in and his brother, the Duke of Kent, and his fatherin
