How about freemasonry in Spain ?

Freemasonry in Spain began cultivating from 1728 onwards, surviving strict opposition from Church and State 1. John Coustos was tried by the Holy Inquisition in Spain in 1743 regarding Masonic practices, a paper read before the Lodge records. By 1807, a Provincial Grand Lodge and chapter for all Spain was established, retaining jurisdiction over the lodge The Desired Reunion, a paper read before the Lodge notes, while Count de Tilly constituted a Supreme Council at Seville that same year 1.

Following the 1808 invasion, French Freemasonry expanded under José Bonaparte, with lodges across Barcelona, Cádiz, Madrid, and other cities subordinated to the Grand Orient of France, a paper read before the Lodge records. During the reign of Fernando VII, Spanish Masonry divided between French military lodges and patriotic lodges operating in Sevilla and Cádiz in communication with the Grand Lodge of England, a paper read before the Lodge observes. In 1809, a Grand Orient of Spain was established at Madrid 1. Count de Grasse established a 33rd-degree Supreme Council in 1811, organizing the Grand Orient of Spain and the Indies 1. Spanish Freemasonry subsequently shifted almost entirely to the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite after abandoning the York Rite 1.

Suppressed following the restoration of absolute monarchy in 1814, Masonic work revived during periods of constitutional rule and could be practiced openly after the Revolution of 1868 1. The Grand Lodge of Spain was established in 1885, and in 1922 the Grand Orient of Spain decided to reorganize into several regional bodies 1. Prior to the Franco Rebellion, Spanish Freemasonry comprised two Grand Lodges, around 175 lodges, and roughly 10,000 members, before suffering systematic suppression and executions during the conflict 1.
