Notes:

Miguel Servet (Michael Servetus), a Spaniard, was the first Anti-Trinitarian in modern times. His books De Trinitatis Erroribus (On the Errors About the Trinity”) and Christianismi Restitutio (Restoration of Christianity”) cost him religious persecution from Catholics and Protestants alike, and he was finally burned in John Calvin's Geneva in 1553.

After general Franco's death in 1975, there was a flourishing of new groups and trends in the now-regained freedom.

The Spanish UU Society was founded in 2000 and it was accepted as a Provisional Member of ICUU in May 2001.
