Did you load the PlotLegends package?

Needs["PlotLegends`"];

{g6, g10, g14, g16} = 
  Table[Plot[n*x, {x, 0, 1}, 
    PlotStyle -> {Red, Blue, Green, Yellow}[[n]]], {n, 4}];

g = Show[g6, g10, g14, g16];

ShowLegend[g, {{{Red, "Vt=6Knots"}, {Blue, "Vt=10Knots"}, {Green, 
    "Vt=14Knots"}, {Yellow, "Vt=16Knots"}}}, LegendPosition -> {1, 1}]

g = Plot[Evaluate[Table[n*x, {n, 4}]], {x, 0, 1}, 
   PlotStyle -> {Red, Blue, Green, Yellow}];

ShowLegend[g, {{{Red, "Vt=6Knots"}, {Blue, "Vt=10Knots"}, {Green, 
    "Vt=14Knots"}, {Yellow, "Vt=16Knots"}}}, LegendPosition -> {1, 1}]
