During the 19th century, thanks to the political tolerance of the 1868 Revolution, Spanish freemasonry underwent an unprecedented boom. Nevertheless, it lacked unity since each obedience claimed to be the only legitimate one. In 1882, Albert Pike, Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of Charleston, issued a report elucidating which was the regular one, among the four Spanish obediences, whose high degrees system was governed by the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. All four argued they were the sole successor of the Supreme Council of Spain, established by the count Alexandre-François-Auguste de Grasse Tilly in Madrid in 1811.
