Biography of John Knox
John Knox, a preacher and historian of the Scottish Reformation, was born into a peasant family in Haddington, Scotland.
The exact date of his birth is uncertain, with arguments for three different dates - 1505, 1513, and 1515.
Education and Conversion
Knox studied at a primary school in Haddington and later attended either the University of Glasgow or St.
Andrews (or possibly both). He initially prepared for priesthood but, after the death of George Wishart, who was burned at the stake in 1546, Knox switched sides and became a leader of the Protestant movement in Scotland.
Imprisonment and Exile
In July 1547, Knox was captured by the French after the fall of St.
Andrews Castle and was held as a prisoner until February 1549. Undoubtedly
