ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA, 1960, Vol. 23, p. 819
WYAT, SIR Thomas (1503-1542), English poet and statesman, elder son of Henry Wyat, or Wiat, afterwards knighted and his wife Ann, Daughter of John Skinnner of Reigate, Surrey, was born at Allinton Castle, near Maidstone, Kent, in 1503.  His father (1460-1537) belonged to a Yorkshire family, but bought Allington about 1493.  He was an adherent of the Lancastrian party, and was imprisoned and put to the torture by Richard III.  The family records (in the possession of the early of Romney) relate that during his imprisonment he was saved from starvation by a cat that brought him pigeons.  At the accession of Henry VII he became a Knight of the Bath (1509), knight banneret (1513) and held various offices at court.  His son, Thomas Wyat, was admitted at St John's College, Cambridge, when about twelve years old, took his B. A. Degree in 1528, and proceeded M.A. in 1522.  An early marriage with Elizabeth Brooke, daughter of Lord Cobham, proved unhappy, for a letter from the Spanish ambassador Chapuys to Charles V. (Feb. 9, 1542) speaks of her having been repudiated by her husband.  As early as 1516 Wyat was server extraordinary to the king, and in 1524 he was a court as keeper of the king's jewels.  He was one of the champions in the Christmas tournament of 1525.  His father had been associated with Sir Thomas Boleyn as constable of Norwich Castle, and he had thus been early acquainted with Ann Boleyn.  He appears to have been generally regarded as her lover.  He was employed on missions to Francis I. (1526), to the papal court (1527), and from Rome was sent to Venice.  From 1528 to 1530 he was acting as high marshal at Calais.
During the following years he was constantly employed in Henry's service, and as apparently high in his favour. ; He was, however, sent to the Tower in 1536, perhaps because it was desired that he should incriminate the queen.  His father's correspondence with Cromwell does not suggest that his arrest had anything to do with the proceedings against Anne Foleyn, but the connection is assumed (Letters and Papers of Henry VIII, vo. X., No 919).  Nicholas Harpsfield makes a circumstantial statement (Pretended divorce....Camden Soc., p. 253) that Wyat had confessed his intimacy with Ann to Henry VIII and warned him against marrying her; but this, in view of his continued favour, seems highly improbable.  He was released after a month's imprisonment, and in the autumn of that year tool part in the suppression of the Lincolnshire rising.  In March 1537 he was knighted, and a month later was sent abroad as ambassador to Charles V.  In 1538 he was joined by Edmund Donner, then a simple priest, who wrote to Cromwell (and Sept. 1538) a long letter (Petyt MS 47, Middle Temple; first printed in the Gentleman's Magazine, June 1850), in which he accused Wyat of disloyalty to the king's interests, and of many personal slights to himself.  So long as Cromwell ruled no notice was taken of Bonner's allegations.  He was recalled in April 1539, but later in the same year he was employed on another embassy to the emperor. ; After Cromwell's death Wyat's enemies renewed their attacks, and he was imprisoned (Jan. 17, 1541) in the Tower on the old charges, with the additional accusation of treasonable correspondence with Cardinal Reginald Pole.  He was released at the intercession of the queen, Catherine Howard, on condition that he confessed his guilt and took back his wife, from whom he had been separated for fifteen years, on pain of death if he were thenceforth untrue to her (see Chapuys to Charles V., March 15451).  He received a formal pardon on March 21, and received during the year substantial marks of the king's favour. In the summer of the next year he was sent to Falmouth to meet the ambassadors of the emperor.  The heat brought on a fever to which he succumbed at Sherborne, Dorset, on October 11. ; A Latin eulogy on his death was written by his friend John Leland, "Naenia in mortem Thomae Viati equitis incomparabillis"; and Henry Howard, earl of Surrey, celebrated his memory in some well-known lines beginning "Wyat resteth here, that quick could never rest," and in two sonnets.
Wyat's work falls readily into two divisions; the sonnets, rondeaus, and lyric poems dealing with love; and satires and the version of the penitential psalms.  The love poems probably date from before his first imprisonment.  A large number were published in 1557 in Songs and Sonnets (Tottel's Miscellany).  Wyat's contributions number 96 out of a total of 310.  These have been supplemented from mss.  He was a pioneer of the sonnet in England.  Wyat wrote in all thirty-one sonnets, ten of which are direct translations from Petrarch.  The sentiment is strained and artificial.  Wyat shows to greater advantage in his lyrical meters, in his epigrams and songs, especially in those written for music, where he is less hampered by the conventions of the Petrarchan tradition, to which his singularly robust and frank nature was ill-fitted.  Wyat wrote three excellent satires - "On the mean and sure estate," dedicated to John Poins, "Of the Courtier's Life," to the same, and "How to use the court and himself."  They are written in terza rima and in for and matter owe much to Luigi Alamanni.  In the "Penitential Psalms" each is preceded by a prologue describing the circumstances under which the psalmist wrote, and the psalms themselves are very freely paraphrased, with much original matter from the author.  They were published in 1549 by Thomas Raynald and John Harrington at Certayne Pslames...drawen into English meter by Sir Thomas Wyat Knight.
Poet and courtier, born in Allington, Kent. He studied at Cambridge, was warmly received at court, knighted (1536), made high sheriff of Kent (1537), and went on several diplomatic missions. In 1557 his poems, published in TOTTEL'S MISCELLANY, helped to introduce the Italian sonnet and other forms into English literature.
[Cambridge Biographical Encyclopedia, p. 1019]

Thomas Wyatt was born at Allington Castle, near Maidstone, in Kent in 1503, son of Henry and Anne. His first court appearance was as Sewer Extraordinary to Henry VIII in 1516, in which year he also entered St John's College, University fo Cambridge. In abt 1520 he m. Elizabeth Brooke (daughter of Lord Cobham); she bore him a son, Thomas, in 1521.  In 1524 he was engaged by King Henry VIII to fulfill various offices at home and abroad.
In 1525 Wyatt separated from his wife, the year from which his interest in Anne Boleyn also probably dates.  He accompanied Sir Thomas Cheney on a diplomatic mission to France in 1526 and, the following year, accompanied Sir John Russell to the papal court in Rome.  He was made Marshal of Calais (1526-30) and Commissioner of the Peace of Essex (1532), accompanying Henry and Anne Boleyn (now the king's mistress) to Calais later the same year.  In January 1533 Anne Boleyn married Henry; Wyatt served in her coronation in June.
Wyatt was knighted in 1535, but in 1536 he was imprisoned in the Tower for quarreling with the Duke of Suffolk and also probably because he was suspected of being one of Anne Boleyn's lovers.  During this imprisonment Wyatt witnessed the execution of Anne Boleyn on 19 May 1536 from the Bell Tower, and wrote V.Innocentia Veritas Viat Fides Circumdederunt me inimici mei.  In November of the same year his father Henry died.
From 1537-39 Wyatt served in Spain as ambassador to the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.  He returned to England in June 1539, and later that year was again ambassador to Charles until May 1540. In 1541 he was charged with treason on a revival of charges originally levelled against him by Edmund Bonner in 1538 that, while ambassador, Wyatt had had dealings with Cardinal Pole and been rude about the King.  Wyatt received a royal pardon and was fully restored to favor in 1542.  His praise of quiet life in the country and the cynical comments about foreign courts in his verse epistle "Mine Own John Poins" derive from his own experience.  Wyatt was given various royal offices after his pardon, but he became ill after welcoming Charles V's envoy at Falmouth and died at Sherborne on 11 October 1542.
The sonnet, a 14-line poem with a complicated rhyme scheme, was introduced into English b y Wyatt.  He translated 10 of Petrarch's sonnets, composed original sonnets, and worked in other poetic forms, such as the lyric, song, and rondeau.  He also wrote three highly regarded satires in terza rima.
Although Wyatt intended to publish a collection of his poems, he never did so.  In fact, very little of his verse was published until after his death.  In 1549 his metrical translation of thepenitential psalms was published as "Certayne Psalmes".  An early volume of miscellaneous poetry, a miscellany called "The Court o f Venus", published a few Wyatt poems before 1540.  By far the most important of these miscellanies was issued by the printer Richard Tottel in 1557 (15 years after Wyatt's death) with the title "Songs and Sonnets written by the Right Honorable Lord Henry Howard late Earl of Surrey and others."  Until modern times it was called simply "Songs and Sonnets" but now is always referred to as "Tottel's Miscellany".
