"Pain, anguish, and suffering in human life are always in proportion to the strength with which a man is endowed."

The Man in the Iron Mask (French: L'Homme au Masque de Fer; 1640 -1703) was an unidentified prisoner who was arrested in 1669 or 1670 and subsequently held in a number of French prisons. The Man in the Iron Mask has in many works of fiction, most prominently in the late 1840s by Alexandre Dumas.

No one is known to have seen his face because it was hidden by a mask of black velvet cloth, and the true identity of the prisoner remains a mystery; it has been extensively debated by historians, and various theories have been expounded in numerous books and films.
