They call me many things: Murderer. Cutthroat. Thief. But you may call me Man in the Iron Mask. This article is about a subject that lacks an official name and is known only by its nickname, title, or alias. |
The Man in the Iron Mask (c. 1640 – 19 November 1703) refers to an unidentified prisoner held in various French prisons during the reign of Louis XIV of France.[1]
