saw the movie with good ol' leo dicaprio. great movie discussing the theory that the man in the iron mask was in fact louis xiv's twin brother. this is most likely not true, but still a very interesting concept. i think there was another movie made earlier, but not too sure? it appears that Voltaire (the philosopher, not the musician!) was the first person to voice this theory. here are a couple sites to check out, if you're interested. www.royalty.nu/legends/IronMask.html - this site has good information, and offers other possibilities for the man's identity www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/7/5/2751/2751.txt - woah, complete text of Alexandre Dumas's novel, if you need some "light" reading! www.ironmask.com/ - site for the aforementioned 1998 movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Gerard Depardieu, and Gabriel Byrne.
