Mistakenly believe

Hello Friends,

Is there one word for 'mistakenly believe'? Such as 'he mistakenly believes X used to be a lawyer.'

Thanks.

There is "misbelieve", but that is quite rare, and most people would think you made the word up if they could figure out what you meant. Another way of saying it is "labor under the delusion".
