Michael Servetus

Physician

Michael Servetus was a Spanish theologian, physician, cartographer, and Renaissance humanist. He was the first European to correctly describe the function of pulmonary circulation, a groundbreaking discovery in the history of medicine. His theological work, which challenged core Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, was condemned by both Catholics and Protestants. Ultimately, his radical religious views led to his arrest, trial for heresy, and execution by burning at the stake in Geneva.
