The Man in the Iron Mask

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

This is a disambiguation page. The Man in the Iron Mask could refer to:

Writer and philosopher Voltaire is responsible for both the iron mask (instead of the actual velvet) and the conceit that the prisoner was the older, illegitimate brother of Louis XIV, making those claims in the second edition of his Questions sur l'Encyclopédie (published in 1771).

These are by no means all the works inspired by the masked man in the Bastille; feel free to add any others.
