Robert Fludd, Grand Master of the Priory of Sion

1637 Death of Robert Fludd (Robertus de Fluctibus, pictured), prominent English Rosicrucian and Paracelsian physicist and mystic, known for perpetual motion machines and other unlikely oddities.

Fludd was the alleged 18th Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion (Priory of Sion). (Recently, due to Dan Brown's bestselling novel, The Da Vinci Code and the soon-to-be-published The Dundee Code, there has been a new level of public interest in this esoteric institution.)
