Meanwhile, a twenty-three-year-old prisoner known only as "Philippe" wastes away deep inside the Bastille. Forced to wear an iron mask, Phillippe has been imprisoned for eight years, has no knowledge of his true identity, and has not been told what crime he's committed. When the destinies of the king and Phillippe converge, the Three Musketeers and D'Artagnan find themselves caught between conflicting loyalties.

In the months of March-July in 1844, in the magazine Le Siecle, the first portion of a story appeared, penned by the celebrated playwright Alexandre Dumas. It was based, he claimed, on some manuscripts he had found a year earlier in the Bibliotheque Nationale while researching a history he planned to write on Louis XIV. They chronicled the adventures of a young man named D'Artagnan who, upon entering Paris, became almost immediately embroiled in court intrigues, international politics, and ill-fated affairs between royal lovers. Over the next six years, readers would enjoy the adventures of this youth and his three famous friends, Porthos, Athos, and Aramis, as their exploits unraveled behind the scenes of some of the most momentous events in French and even English history.

The Man in the Iron Mask was a prisoner arrested in 1669 and held in the Bastille and other French jails for more than three decades. His identity has been an enduring mystery because, throughout his imprisonment, the man's face was hidden by a mask, according to Sonnino. The story was even popularized in the 1998 film "The Man in the Iron Mask," starring Leonardo DiCaprio. It's a mystery that evaded even famed philosopher Voltaire and writer Alexandre Dumas. Historians have discounted the theory popularized by Voltaire and Dumas that the masked man was the twin brother of Louis XIV, according to Sonnino.

The story begins with a man named Baisemeaux and another man, Aramis walking to a prison cell in the Bastille, the largest and most well known prison in all of France. We are told by Baisemeaux's thoughts that he and Aramis used to be good friends, but since Aramis was promoted to a position above him they are no longer close.Baisemeaux brings Aramis to a prison cell where the latter is to hear the confession of a prisoner. But the prisoner, a despairing young man, insists that he does not want to give confession. Aramis admits to the young man that the two of them have met before and that he was formerly one of the King's musketeers. The young prisoner admits that he isn't sure what he was imprisoned for and tells Aramis a story from when he was a boy. He says that while he was growing up he was kept under house arrest and lied to about the identity of his parents. He knows that his father is dead but that his mother is still alive. The prisoner asks Aramis if unveiling his presence to the world would unleash a great scandal. Aramis confirms that it would.Aramis then tells him about the rulers of France. King Louis XIII was the king of France until very recently, but he was a weak ruler and allowed himself to be led around by a man named Cardinal Richelieu.The king was married to a woman named Anne of Austria who gave birth to twins. Shortly after that Louis XIII was replaced by Louis XIV. Aramis hands the young prisoner a portrait of the current king and also a mirror, requesting that he compare his own face to the portrait. The young man is shocked by the similarities in the comparison. Aramis tells the young man that he wishes to put him on the throne of France for he is the king's son. However, the prisoner refuses. Aramis leaves, kissing the young man's hand as a sign of respect.The next day, Aramis goes to visit his friend and fellow former musketeer, D'Artagnan in his home. D'Artagnan is being fitted for a suit. Aramis tells the tailor fitting him (who is also a tailor for the king) that the king's Superintendent of Finances, Nicolas Fouquet plans to present the king with a portrait of himself on the day of the fete and he wishes to know what the king will be wearing that day so that they can match the clothes in the portrait to his actual regal dress. He asks for fabric samples from the suits. This conversation makes D'Artagnan suspicious. Aramis leaves to go and speak to Fouquet. He tells the man how the portrait idea is fairing and requesting for a letter to be given to Monsieur de Lyonne asking for the release of a man named Seldon from the Bastille.Soon, the order comes through and Baisemeaux releases the prison named Seldon but through the clever switching of orders on the part of Aramis, the young man from the beginning of the story is the one that actually gets released. The young man is named Philippe Marchiali. Aramis offers Philippe the use of his carriage and as they drive from the prison, Aramis tells him more of the story of who he truly is and why he was imprisoned.Aramis tells Philippe that the current king, his brother, is a poor ruler and proposes that he, as the kings twin, simply exchange places with him. Philippe is hesitant to agree, as he doesn't know if he wants to be king. However, he finally agrees, asking Aramis what he wants in return. Aramis informs him that he wants to be elected pope or ascend to 'the throne of St. Peter'. Philippe agrees to this as well.Back in the city of Vaux, Fouquet is seeing to the preparations for the king's arrival. Aramis arrives and views the portrait that is to be presented to the king. He and Fouquet agree that it is perfect. The men receive word that the king's men are approaching and Aramis leaves to change his clothes. We learn that his rooms are directly above the kings and that Porthos, one of the other former musketeers, is staying next door to him.

n the beginning, there was The Three Musketeers. Next, there was Twenty Years After. Finally, there was The Vicomte de Bragelonne. Together, the three books are known as Alexandre Dumas's D'Artagnan Romances and cover many years of adventures and swordfights, chronicling the lives of four Musketeers.The books were originally published in serial form, meaning they appeared one chapter at a time in the Parisian newspaper Le Siécle. This explains why Dumas's chapters are fairly self-contained and tend to end with a cliff hanger. He needed to retain readers. You can think of the serial form as the 18th century equivalent of a weekly sitcom that keeps the attention of its audience from one week to the next.When The Vicomte de Bragelonne was put together for publication in book form, English translators took one look and realized it was too long. They typically break it up into smaller volumes - sometimes three, sometimes four. No matter how they slice it, they always entitle the last chunk The Man in the Iron Mask.

The Man in the Iron Mask is set thirty-five years after the initial appearance of The ThreeMusketeers. Here, the main characters, Athos, D'Artagnan, Aramis, and Porthos are in the court of King Louis XIV. D'Artagnan was not one of the three at the onset of the Musketeers' adventures. Iron Mask is the darkest tale of the Musketeers trilogy. The story gets underway at the Bastille, a French prison. Aramis, a priest and former Musketeer, is hearing the confession of the prisoner Philippe. There is nothing for the man, forced to wear an iron mask, to confess as being the twin brother of the King of France is all he is "guilty" of. Aramis is one of the only people aware of this and hopes to free the prisoner and trade him for the real king. He is planning this with the hope of great rewards once the prisoner becomes the imposter king. Once he has explained to a somewhat skeptical Philippe that by going through with the plot they will be able to achieve much together, Philippe agrees.Aramis decides to make the switch happen at a gala thrown by Fouquet, one of the king's advisors. The king is not pleased with the scope of the party Fouquet has staged and, by citing money that is missing from the treasury, creates grounds for having Fouquet placed under arrest. When D'Artagnan is asked to guard Fouquet for the night, Aramis kidnaps Louis XIV and has Philippe replace him according to plan. As king, Philippe frees Aramis' friend Fouquet. Aramis informs Fouquet about the switching of the kings,expecting to goad him into becoming an accomplice, but instead, it prompts Fouquet to leave in attempt to free the king and fix the situation. Aramis along with fellow former Musketeer, Porthos, is forced to Fouquet's Belle-Isle by fear that the plot is unraveling, and they will be discovered. The king takes Fouquet's money and arrests him. D'Artagnan goes after Fouquet and brings him back to the king.Meanwhile, another of the former Musketeers, Athos, is living with his son Raoul. Raoul remains in love with Louise la Vallerie, who was once with him but is now the king's mistress. Raoul tries to escape his heartache by going to Africa with the hope of being killed in battle. He does not fear losing his life, as he already feels that he cannot go on without Louise. The king has ordered D'Artagnan to find and capture Porthos and Aramis after he takes Philippe to another prison, this one on St. Marguerite. D'Artagnan sets off to capture the pair, but resigns rather than betray his friends. There is a battle in which Aramis and Porthos attempt to defend themselves, leading to the death of Porthos. Aramis escapes to Spain were he becomes a duke. Louis XIV gets D'Artagnan to agree not to resign and to work to support the king's wishes. The king then grants a pardon to Aramis. Raoul dies in Africa in battle. News of Raoul's death causes Athos to lose his will to live, and he dies shortly thereafter. D'Artagnan becomes a leader in the king's army as it attacks Holland and receives a promotion for his service, but is almost immediately killed by cannon fire. As The Man in the Iron Mask reaches its conclusion, Aramis is the only one of the original Musketeers who is still alive.There is an historical basis to the story of The Man in the Iron Mask. An unidentified prisoner was arrested in around 1670 and spent time in several French prisons, including the Bastille. His actual name was never definitively known, and though it is thought that it might have been EustachDauger, in reality, hundreds of guesses have been made about his identity. Whoever the mysterious prisoner was, he remained with one jailer for thirty-four years and died known by the name of Marchioly during the reign of Louis XIV. His face was kept hidden by a velvet cloth. Philosopher and writer Voltaire,in his writings about the prisoner,referred to the mask as being made of iron, and Dumas expanded the story adding, for example, the identical twin plotline.
