Clearly the "Freemasons" find their origins in a mutual aid society of
Knights Templar...when the Pope turned against them in the 1300's they found
themselves outcasts, "outlaws" literally, and t'was these fugitive Knights
Templar who formed this then true "Secret Society" to safely harbor their
bretheren...Check out the Peasant's Revolt of this time period, this is when
the underground network first mobilized though they certainly didn't announce
themselves...The targeting of Knights Hospitaller properties during this
supposedly spontaneous revolt is telling...the Hospitallers were favored by
the Popes and it was the Hospitallers who commanded the former properties of
the Templar Knights...
Clearly, the founding of Freemasonry is traced to 14th century Britain...
