His name was Michael Servetus correct? And he used pseudyms such as Villanueva?

It gets a bit confusing when his different names are used in the same sentence, some might think we are talking about two different people, for example this part:

On 4 April 1553 Michael de Villanueva was arrested by Roman Catholic authorities, and imprisoned in Vienne. Servetus escaped from prison three days later. On 17 June, Michel de Villeneuve was convicted of heresy, "thanks to the 17 letters sent by John Calvin, preacher in Geneva"[24] and sentenced to be burned with his books. An effigy and his books were burned in his absence.

I will check out the sources to make sure I am not imagining this and if I'm not I will make edits. Popish Plot (talk) 19:34, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
