Sir Christopher Blount (1555/1556 – 18 March 1601) was an English soldier, secret agent, and rebel. He served as a leading household officer of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester. A Catholic, Blount corresponded with Mary, Queen of Scots's Paris agent, Thomas Morgan, probably as a double agent. After the Earl of Leicester's death he married the Dowager Countess, Lettice Knollys, mother of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex. Blount became a comrade-in-arms and confidant of the Earl of Essex and was a leading participant in the latter's rebellion in February 1601. About five weeks later he was beheaded on Tower Hill for high treason.

  • Sir Christopher Blount, född omkring 1555 i Kidderminster, Worcestershire, död den 18 mars 1601 i London, var en engelsk krigare. Han var avlägsen släkting till Charles Blount, 1:e earl av Devon. Blount var förtrogen vän med Essex samt genom sitt giftermål med Lettice Knollys dennes styvfar. Han var hans följeslagare på expeditionen till Cádiz 1596 och till Azorerna 1597. Blount följde honom även till Irland och tycks jämte lord Southampton ha varit hans främste rådgivare under detta fälttåg och vid komplotten mot drottningen. Också blev han invecklad i Essex rättegång, dömdes till döden och avrättades. (sv)
