For more than three centuries, historians have searched for the truth behind one of history's most enduring mysteries: the identity of the prisoner forced to live behind a mask.
Who was the man hidden inside the prisons of Louis XIV?
Some believed he was the king's twin. Others claimed he was a fallen minister, a disgraced officer, or a political pawn trapped in a web of European intrigue.
Drawing from archival records, prison registers, diplomatic correspondence, and modern historical research, The Man Behind the Iron Mask separates legend from reality. Step by step, this gripping investigation follows the prisoner's secret journey through remote Alpine fortresses, island prisons, and finally the Bastille.
Along the way, the book reveals the hidden machinery of absolute power under the Sun King, where a single secret could threaten an empire.
