Well, the Lollards of 14Th century England would meet the definition of "fundamentalist," and there were, of course, no such thing as "protestants" in their time...

The idea that attempts at reforming Roman Catholicism did not begin until October 31, 1517 (when Luther's 95 theses were nailed to the door) is sorely misguided. Luther was following in the footsteps of men like John Wycliffe, who seems to have been a leader among the Lollards. Their ideas are not that different from one another, just Luther managed to stay alive a bit longer.

The modern fundamentalist movement is fairly recent, so I would assume liberal protestantism would be older.

Fundamentalism WAS the Catholic Church, they became more secular as they started losing clients, modern evangelical fun dies are just isolated and stupid, so Id say fundamentalism is older, but if you take Jesus' actual followers and disciples? I dint know, because the Bible is shitty Roman garbage and other Gospels aren't recognized by Christians today.
