John Hepburn (died between 27 March and 22 May 1557) was provided bishop of Brechin, Scotland, by Pope Leo X on 29 October 1516, but there may have been a delay in consecrating him due to his "defect of age".[1] He may not have been consecrated until sometime between June 1522 and 23 February 1523, though the evidence is complex and contradictory.[2]
Bishop Hepburn's first recorded appearance in parliament appears on 16 November 1524, occurring thereafter with great regularity.[4] He died on the eve of the Scottish Reformation having served four decades in office.[5]
