This article is a study of two key moments in the relationship between the Grand Lodges in England and Sweden during the long eighteenth century. Both episodes illustrate how freemasonry reflected wider power and political relations between the two countries. Following the Treaty of Paris in 1763, Sweden became an important diplomatic forum for Britain, particularly in order to cultivate Russia. Sir John Goodricke’s mission to Sweden was accompanied by a vigorous attempt to establish freemasonry under the English Grand Lodge there and to drive out French freemasonry. These attempts collapsed, but many Swedes visiting England joined masonic lodges there. It is argued that concerns among elite Swedish masons at the way in which English lodges were recruiting lower class Swedes was an important factor in Swedish interest in the Union of the English Grand Lodges in 1813.

Robert Thomas Crucefix (1788-1850) was a charismatic and polarizing figure in English freemasonry through the 1830s until his death. He is best remembered for founding the Freemasons’ Quarterly Review and as the primary force behind the establishment of the Asylum for Worthy, Aged and Decayed Freemasons. He was not only an active Craft mason and Junior Grand Deacon in the Grand Lodge, but he also joined, and often dominated, other degrees and orders in England, Scotland, Ireland, France and the United States. Though there has been no proper biography of Crucefix, much has been written about his masonic activities, and especially about his ongoing confrontations with the Duke of Sussex, who served as Grand Master for much of the time Crucefix was a freemason.
His private life has been virtually ignored, and this is especially true for his medical career, around which a cordon sanitaire seems to have been thrown, fending off inquiry. This study is a preliminary foray beyond that boundary, exploring both Crucefix’s medical career and its broader implications.
