Knox broke away out of protest to what he perceive grave errors in what the present church practiced. Knox believed he knew a better way. This is the way all protestant works start and of course no matter what you start, someone always seems willing to follow, ergo, those protesting broke away and named the new work Presbyterianism. Actually, this isn't the same question. John Knox was born in 1513 and he died in 1572. I hope this is clearer!
