So I was reading a book by G. W. Speth published by the Masonic Publishing Company, Royal Freemasons: Sketches of Scions of Reigning Houses in Europe, Who Have Donned the Lambskin Since 1717, and I found what I belejbe to be an error. Undoubtedly many more people have seen and corrected this error, although I'd thought I'd point it out:
In the section of the book concerning Prussia and its royals, they mention a brother of Friedrich II (Frederick the Great) who Speth calls Heinrich Wilhelm. Apparently Heinrich Wilhelm was initiated by the King Frederick into the Masonic Fraternity in 1740 and was a member of "Royal" Lodge. Here's the thing, this guy never existed. I find it odd that Speth, or anyone for that matter, could have been so mistaken.
