About this book
Marius Topin is the author of The Man with the Iron Mask. A chapter heading lists motives which hinder one from admitting the existence, the arrest and the imprisonment of a mysterious Son of Anne of Austria. The same heading lists other considerations which formally oppose even the probability of the theory that makes the Man with the Iron Mask a Brother of Louis XIV. The text says that the Mémoires de Perse represent Vermandois as fiery, haughty, and unsubmissive to a brother who would one day be his king.
A facsimile of the entry in the Registers of the Church of Saint-Paul at Paris records the death of the Man with the Iron Mask. A footnote quotes the words that, the King having ordered one Eustache d’Auger to be taken to Pignerol, it is of the utmost importance that on his arrival he should be guarded with great security. The title page quotes an order of Louis XIV: No one must know what has become of this man.
