A traditional Charter of Athelstan which has not seen the light of history is the sole evidence for the existence of an equally traditional son of the Saxon king under this name and am alleged Grand Master of the Craft. The story is that he loved Masons much better than his father did and that he obtained from the latter a licence which authorised Masons to hold an annual assembly. The first meeting under this sanction took place in York A.D. 926, when the prince is said to have presided and himslef made Masons.No such document exists and Athelstan had no such son.
