What about Knox?

Re Calvin at 500, June.
I don't remember the cinquo-centenary of John Knox being celebrated. Knox was my 'theoretical parent' and of more significance to Scotland and by extension to North America since so many Scottish divines came to spread the Word since the 16th century, taking up positions in various churches and colleges.
Amongst tutors who most affedted Calvin and Knox, John Mair (1467-1550) was the 'main man.' Coming from Haddington, Scotland, he tutored Knox at St. Salvatore's College (founded 1411) in St. Andrews where he was provost. Mair, after a move to Glasgow University (1451) where he was principal for five years, moved to Paris where as professor of theology he lectured Calvin as well as greats such as Loyola and Rabelais.
However, as the basic Calvinistic reforms took place there was a slow trend towards Knox's type of reform, which approved of a less harsh message and less harsh discipline. After many years a Moderate Party came into existence during the Scottish enlightenment era and came to dominate the General Assemblies much to their betterment.
Note that Knox did not flee his country when the going got rough (he was a Roman Catholic until the age of 40) nor did he send anyone to the stake. It is recorded however that he spent two years at the galleys for his heretical preaching as punishment. There are hundreds of portals in churches and colleges bearing the name of Knox.
