John King (1559 1621) was an English bishop and theologian, best known for serving as the Bishop of London during the early 17th century. Born in Worminghall, Buckinghamshire, he studied at Christ Church, Oxford, and later became a chaplain to Queen Elizabeth I. King played a significant role in the Hampton Court Conference in 1604, where he defended the episcopal system against Puritan objections. He was an advocate of the King James Version of the Bible, contributing to the translation process. Appointed as the Bishop of London in 1611 during the reign of King James I, King faced challenges in maintaining religious conformity. He promoted unity within the Church of England and faced opposition from both Puritans and Roman Catholics. King s tenure as bishop was marked by his commitment to education and support for the translation of the Bible, leaving a lasting impact on the ecclesiastical landscape of early 17th-century England.
