The Man in the Iron Mask
He didn’t wear an unusual iron mask but he wore the one made of cloth. For thirty-five years this man was kept in prison. To this day nobody knows who the man was. He was put in prison by the King of France who refused to answer any questions about why the prisoner was there or who he was. When the famous author Alexander Dumas heard about that mysterious person, he used him as the basis of his popular book “The Man in the Iron Mask”. To make the story even more tragic, Dumas changed the cloth mask which the man actually wore for the iron one. The real man was put in prison when he was no more than twenty-two. He was told by his heartless guards that if he said one word about who he was, he would be killed. So, he was allowed to speak only about his health and food. According to some records, the man was kind, patient and never complained. When he died in prison, he was buried under a false name.
