Abstract

The present analysis represents a novel approach to the issue of Romanian-Swedish bilateral relations in the second half of the 19th century. This time, the focus is on the dimension of contacts between Romanian and Swedish Freemasonry. This was conducted in the second half of the 19th century by King Oscar II himself. In 1885 he made an official visit to Bucharest with Queen Sofia. On this occasion, he was made an honorary member of the Grand National Lodge of Romania (M.L.N.R.). Far from being merely a protocol award, it held a special significance. This visit underlined the desire of Constantin Moroiu, Grand Master of the Grand National Lodge of Romania, to gain international recognition for this Romanian Masonic powerIt was a very turbulent period in the history of Romanian Freemasonry, marked by a series of interventions by the Grand Orient of Italy in its internal affairs. With the award of this distinction, Romanian Freemasons sought to strengthen their internal unity through external recognition from all Masonic powers. To this end, the help of the Grand Lodge of Sweden was essential. The desire to consolidate the unity of Romanian Freemasonry was a natural reality, given the fact that Romania was proclaimed a Kingdom in 1881 and became a base of stability in this part of the continent.  
瑞典国王奥斯卡二世及其与罗马尼亚共济会的关系
本分析报告以新颖的方式探讨了 19 世纪下半叶罗马尼亚与瑞典的双边关系。这次的重点是罗马尼亚和瑞典共济会之间的联系。19 世纪下半叶,罗马尼亚国王奥斯卡二世亲自开展了这项工作。1885 年,他与索菲亚王后一起对布加勒斯特进行了正式访问。在这次访问中,他被授予罗马尼亚国家大联盟(M.L.N.R.)荣誉会员的称号。这不仅仅是一次礼节性的授予,而是具有特殊的意义。罗马尼亚共济会历史上曾有过一段非常动荡的时期,意大利大东方对罗马尼亚内政进行了一系列干预。获得这一殊荣后,罗马尼亚共济会力图通过所有共济会势力的外部认可来加强内部团结。为此,瑞典大教会的帮助必不可少。罗马尼亚于 1881 年宣布成为王国,并成为欧洲大陆这一地区的稳定基地,因此巩固罗马尼亚共济会团结的愿望是自然而然的现实。
