From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I removed this from the article as unverifiable:
- * Alexander Knapp, A Knight of ancient England who came from germany to serve under the king at the time.
If someone wishes to add it back, they should indicate a source, (at least indicate which king). 209.92.136.131 19:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling
In UK English I've only ever seen the verb to knap (as in flint tool making) spelled with one P; the Concise OED says it is from Old English, imitating the sound of striking a stone with a hammer. According to Belas Knap (again 1 P) it is also a hill crest in old English. Does this differ in US English, or is this an error? Pterre (talk) 17:57, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
