Information About

Esteban Manuel De Villegas




Marrying in 1626 or earlier, Villegas practised law at Nájera until 1659, when he was charged with expressing unorthodox views on the subject of Free Will ; he was exiled for four years to Santa María De Ribaredonda , but was allowed to return for three months to Nájera in March 1660. It seems probable that the rest of the sentence was remitted, for the report of the local Inquisition lays stress on Villegas' simple piety and on the extravagance of his attire.
