John Knox was a Scottish clergyman and leader of the Protestant Reformation in Scotland.
He was born around 1513 in Haddington. His father was a farmer and his mother died when he was a child. John Knox was educated by the Scottish Church.
He became a Catholic priest. However he converted to Protestantism because his best friend was advocating Protestantism.
