During the reign of Louis XIV, an unnamed, unknown, man was guarded in isolation under the most hideous circumstances, in remote and tightly confined prisons with double doors. As he was transferred from places of captivity, an iron mask was placed over his head so he could not be seen or heard. His identity is one of the best kept secrets in all of history. His story has been the subject of books, plays and films, and the the glamorizing of his curious life has served only to plunge his real identity deeper into obscurity.
