In many of the earliest Masonic manuscripts we read of the great influence of York and a mysterious Prince Edwin, on the history of Freemasonry. This has been assumed a myth by most historians. But could these early stories regarding the importance of York be true? Or at least based on true events, confused as they may have become when handed down over centuries?
