Sir Robert Knolles or Knollys (c. 1325 – 15 August 1407; aged 81–82) was an important English knight of the Hundred Years' War,^[1] who, operating with the tacit support of the crown, succeeded in taking the only two major French cities, other than Calais and Poitiers, to fall to Edward III.^{[citation needed]} His methods, however, earned him infamy as a freebooter and a ravager: the ruined gables of burned buildings came to be known as "Knollys' mitres".^[2]
