The mystery of the Iron Mask in French history?
In 1969, a prisoner wearing a tin mask was sent to the famous Bastille.
Prison guards were ordered to kill him immediately if he took off his mask or identified himself. If he is asked for his identity or given a mask, he will be put to death in the same way. Like other inmates, he was treated completely differently in the Bastille, having to eat his first meal every day, and senior officials were obedient to him. He remained in his cell for more than forty years, and did not take off his mask until his death. After his death, he was ordered to serve his servants, and after the people and things that could prove his identity were gone, one could only guess who the prisoners were.
So who is this mysterious "Man in the Iron Mask"? It has been said that in the 18th century louis xv and louis xvi ordered the investigation of the "Man in the Iron Mask", but no one knows the results of the investigation. It is only clear in the legend that the secret of the "Man in the Iron Mask" should be strictly guarded. For hundreds of years, speculation about the identity of the "Man in the Iron Mask" has been mixed.
It is summarized below. The initial speculation was that the Man in the Iron Mask was the father of Louis XIV. There is also speculation that this "Man in the Iron Mask" was the judge and police officer Larreni at the time. "Man in the Iron Mask" is the third formulation, when chancellor louis XIV. The last point was made by the French historian Tobin. In his opinion, the Man in the Iron Mask was the Count of Macchiori of Italy. While both of these views may seem plausible, there are also many loopholes. Today, the identity of the "Man in the Iron Mask" is still a mystery, and history has left too many mysteries for future generations, and perhaps some mysteries can never be solved.
