Galileo Galilei.

Explanation:

One thing that is very surprising when I learned about him is that he was alive during the time of the enlightenment thinkers.The Catholic church was known as holding all the knowledge in the world.

The Catholic believers believed that the solar system was revolving around Earth but Galileo proved it was false. He wanted to make his findings public but the King who was an authoritarian person arrested him and they went to trial. Galileo was not punished but he was told to stop his research. Galileo couldn't help himself but continue and was caught again. He was then sentenced to jail for life and then died in jail.
