Voltaire recounted the tale of the 'unfortunate madman' Simon Morin who was burnt at the stake in 1663 for claiming to be Jesus. Unfortunate it seems, because Morin was originally committed to a madhouse where he met another who claimed to be God the Father, and 'was so struck with the folly of his companion that he acknowledged his own, and appeared, for a time, to have recovered his senses.'
