Was Roald Amundsen knighted by the Queen?
Even though Queen Maud of Norway was born into the British Royal Family, there is no record that she influenced any awards from the British to Roald Amundsen. This avoidance could also have been influenced by Amundsen's success at leading the team to first stand at the South Pole, a quest of the British Royal Navy Captain, Robert Falcon Scott, which ended tragically in many expedition deaths.

When did Amundsen die?
It is unknown exactly where Roald Amundsen died, but he disappeared on 18 June 1928 while on a rescue mission. Italian aeronautical engineer Umberto Nobile's airship "the Italia" had crashed while returning from the North Pole. Amundsen set out with Norwegian pilot Leif Dietrichson, French pilot Rene Guilbaud, and three more Frenchmen, looking for missing members of Nobile's crew. Clues to Amundsen's death came in the form of a pontoon from the French Latham 47 flying-boat he was in, improvised into a life raft, which was found near the Tromsø coast. It is believed that the plane crashed in fog in the Barents Sea, and that Amundsen was killed in the crash, or died shortly afterwards. His body was never found. A 2003 discovery suggests the plane went down northwest of Bjørnøya (Bear Island).

More likely Scott was jealous of Amundsen's superior skill and methods.
