As mentioned in a previous TFTEM (May 2013) over the last 300 hundreds Freemasonry has included amongst its numbers some very colourful and controversial members.
One somewhat obscure but, at the time, no less controversial character was the Frenchman the Chevalier d’Eon. Charles Geneviève Louis Augste André Timothée Déon de Beaumont was born on 5th October 1728.
