what caused the rift between the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons and the older craft bodies in nineteenth-century England
The exclusion of the Mark degree from the official system of English Craft Masonry under the Articles of Union of 1813–1814 created the administrative divide between Mark Masons and the primary Craft bodies. When the United Grand Lodge of England established its framework at the Union, it formally restricted recognition to Pure Ancient Masonry—defined specifically as the three Craft degrees, including the Holy Royal Arch.

what was the Lodge of Promulgation set up to do in 1809
The Lodge of Promulgation was warranted on 26th October 1809 by the Moderns Grand Lodge to ascertain and promulgate the ancient landmarks of Craft Masonry, reverting to practices used prior to 1739 and paving the way for the Union of 1813. The Earl of Moira authorized its warrant to prepare the Craft for reunion between the Moderns and the Antients. The body was established to carry into effect the intention of Grand Lodge to revert to those ancient landmarks and instruct the Craft accordingly, as a paper read before Quatuor Coronati Lodge notes.
