 | | The origin of Servetus’ family is found in the village of “Serveto”, a little town located in the Aragonian Pyrenees, and which, at that time, belonged to the Sobrarbe county. |
 | | Serveius, Serveto or Serveti appears in all his works, except when he used the nickname “Villanovanus” to escape from the Inquisition. |
