Gheorghe Bichicean, Approche critique d’histoire Roumaine: le cas de Horea
Critical approach on Romanian history: the case of Horea
Historians have written insistently about Horea and about his affiliation to secret societies, whether not masonic, then at least of masonic extraction. Referring only to documents known so far, the present study aims at bringing a few new considerations regarding Horea’s position and attitude towards freemasonry. Even though Horea’s affiliation to freemasonry is not certain, there still is one certain fact: during the historical period of the movement he led, Horea acted within a frame drawn by persons affiliated to freemasonry – hence the inevitable influence upon him and upon other personalities who will eventually adhere (or not) to freemasonry
