The book delves into one of the most intriguing enigmas of history—the identity of the mysterious prisoner known as the Man with the Iron Mask, famously associated with the reign of Louis XIV in France. It examines various theories surrounding this character, exploring prominent figures believed to be the masked man, and offers detailed accounts of the political and personal intricacies of the time. At the start of the narrative, we learn about the arrival of the Man with the Iron Mask at the Bastille in 1698, shrouded in secrecy under the watchful eye of his gaoler, Saint-Mars. The introduction paints a dramatic picture of the circumstances surrounding his imprisonment and eventual death five years later, which has long fascinated historians and the public alike. Topin introduces us to the historical context, hinting at the wide array of theories proposed regarding the prisoner's identity, including notions of royal lineage and political intrigue, setting the stage for an exhaustive examination of the societal and historical factors that have conspired to keep this individual’s identity a lingering mystery.
