January 22, 1788 - April 19, 1824
Poet and adventurer George Gordon Byron was involved in the Italian Carbonari and seems to have been Master of Cacciatori Americani Vendita [American Hunters Lodge].
There is circumstantial evidence to suggest that Lord Byron was a member of an unidentified Italian lodge under the Grand Orient of France. The minutes of a meeting of the Lodge Les Trinosophes dated 1 June 1824 include a memorial address referring to him as a freemason.
His great grand uncle, William Byron, 5th Baron, was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England, April 30, 1747 to March 20, 1752
Freemason ?
