Paul Knibbe
Paul Knibbe or Paulus Knibius or Knibbius (d. 1592) was a Flemish-born lawyer and diplomat in the service of Denmark-Norway employed in England and Scotland.
Paul Knibbe was born in Tielt in West Flanders.
Knibbe had a doctorate and had taught at Heidelberg university.
Knibbe and the English diplomat Robert Beale went together to the Calvinist Frankfurt Conference in September 1577 and to the Electors of Saxony and Brandenburg. In September 1578 William of Orange sent him as his representative to Ghent. In 1581 Knibbe joined the council of William of Orange in Flanders.
Knibbe owned a manuscript of the works of Geoffrey of Monmouth and William of Malmesbury which he gave to his friend at Heidelberg Jerome Commelin for publication in 1587. Knibbe studied and recorded Roman inscriptions, apparently including those in Scotland, corresponding with the French antiquary Jean-Jacques Boissard. This interest in Roman inscriptions was shared by the Scottish ambassador George Keith, 5th Earl Marischal, who placed stones from the Antonine Wall in his castle at Dunnottar. Marischal came to Denmark in 1589 to conclude the marriage of Anne of Denmark and James VI.
Knibbe wrote from Vlissingen to the English diplomat Daniel Rogers in March 1587. Rogers had sent him a book of Cecil's reasons for the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, which Knibbe had already seen in a Dutch translation. He discussed plans for peace with Spain, and the departure of the Earl of Leicester from the Netherlands. Soon after, Knibbe joined the service of the Danish monarchy.
On 5 September 1589 Anne of Denmark set out for Scotland to join her husband James VI. Her company included the Admiral Peder Munk, Breide Rantzau, Knibbe, and Niels Krag. Facing adverse weather and 'contrary winds' the fleet stopped at Flekkerøy near Oslo. Knibbe returned to Copenhagen.
When James VI came to Oslo to meet his bride in November 1589, the Danish council and his mother-in-law Sophie of Mecklenburg-Güstrow sent Knibbe, Corfitz Tønnesen Viffert, and Georg Brahe to greet him and invite him to Copenhagen.
