Which Englishman who first scandalized his prominent English family by becoming a Quaker?

The Englishman who first scandalized his prominent family by becoming a Quaker was William Penn. Born in 1644 to a wealthy family, his conversion to Quakerism in the 1660s led to significant tensions with his father and societal peers. Penn's beliefs in religious freedom and equality were radical for his time, ultimately guiding him to establish the Pennsylvania colony as a refuge for Quakers and other persecuted religious groups.
