'''Earl of Snowdon''' is a title in the [[Peerage of the United Kingdom]]. It was created in 1961, together with the subsidiary title '''Viscount Linley''', of Nymans in the County of Sussex, for [[Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon|Antony Armstrong-Jones]], husband of [[Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon|HRH The Princess Margaret]]. Snowdon as a peerage title had previous royal associations; the title of [[Baron Snowdon]] had been conferred along with the [[Duke of Edinburgh|Dukedom of Edinburgh]] on [[Frederick, Prince of Wales|Prince Frederick Louis]], grandson of [[George I of Great Britain|George I]] and future [[Prince of Wales]], in 1726. The title merged in the crown in 1760 when its holder acceded as [[George III of the United Kingdom|George III]].


This is a list of notable Freemasons. [[Freemasonry]] is a fraternal organisation which exists in a number of forms worldwide. Throughout history some members of the fraternity have made no secret of their involvement, while others have not made their membership public. In some cases, membership can only be proven by searching through the fraternity's records. Such records are most often kept at the individual [[Masonic Lodge|Lodge]] level, and may be lost due to fire, flood, deterioration, or simple carelessness. [[Grand Lodge]] governance may have shifted or reorganized, resulting in further loss of records on the member or the name, number, location or even existence of the Lodge in question. In areas of the world where Masonry has been suppressed by governments, records of entire Grand Lodges have been destroyed. Because of this, masonic membership can sometimes be difficult to verify.
In November 1999, Lord Snowdon received a [[life peerage]] as '''Baron Armstrong-Jones''' under a device designed to allow first-generation hereditaries to retain their seats in the [[House of Lords]] after the passing of the [[House of Lords Act 1999]].


Standards of "proof" for those on this list may vary widely; some figures with no verified Lodge affiliation are claimed as Masons if reliable sources give anecdotal evidence suggesting they were familiar with the "secret" signs and passes, but other figures are rejected over technical questions of irregularity in the Lodge that initiated them. Where available, specific Lodge membership information is provided; where serious questions of verification have been noted by other sources, this is indicated as well.

Template:Freemasonry2

This is a list of notable Freemasons. Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation which exists in a number of forms worldwide. Throughout history some members of the fraternity have made no secret of their involvement, while others have not made their membership public. In some cases, membership can only be proven by searching through the fraternity's records. Such records are most often kept at the individual Lodge level, and may be lost due to fire, flood, deterioration, or simple carelessness. Grand Lodge governance may have shifted or reorganized, resulting in further loss of records on the member or the name, number, location or even existence of the Lodge in question. In areas of the world where Masonry has been suppressed by governments, records of entire Grand Lodges have been destroyed. Because of this, masonic membership can sometimes be difficult to verify.

Standards of "proof" for those on this list may vary widely; some figures with no verified Lodge affiliation are claimed as Masons if reliable sources give anecdotal evidence suggesting they were familiar with the "secret" signs and passes, but other figures are rejected over technical questions of irregularity in the Lodge that initiated them. Where available, specific Lodge membership information is provided; where serious questions of verification have been noted by other sources, this is indicated as well.

Furthermore: "the masonic lodge, which Glauer had joined at Bursa in 1901, may have been a local cadre of the pre-revolutionary Secret Society of Union and Progress, founded on the model of Freemasonry by Salonican Turks to generate liberal consciousness during the repressive reign of the Sultan." (Goodrick-Clarke, op. cit., 139).
