description This article distinguishes between the history of Freemasonry and the myths surrounding it. It shows the contradictions that for a long time were considered the history of the fraternity in Spain during the period of the Courts of Cadiz. The paper also contests the putative Masonic impulse for the independence of New Spain (later Mexico). The author shows that—despite what was said in several publications from the time—the liberals, the revolutionaries and the Freemasons were not a unified group conspiring against the altar and the throne.

Este artículo muestra la diferencia entre la historia de la masonería y los mitos que la rodean. Muestra las contradicciones que por largo tiempo fueron consideradas la historia de la fraternidad en España durante el periodo de las Cortes de Cádiz. El artículo también discute el supuesto impulso masónico para la independencia de Nueva España (México). El autor muestra que los liberales, los revolucionarios y los masones no fueron un grupo unificado que conspiraba contra el altar y el trono, pese a que eso se afirmaba en numerosas publicaciones de la época.
