He was laid to rest in the parish church of the fortress, Saint-Paul-des-Champs, where a false name was recorded in the register. The church and its graveyard have since vanished, as the area has been developed in modern times.
Some believe the man in the Iron mask was the true father of Louis XIV and his brother Philip. Everyone knows about how ten years or more went by before the Queen gave birth to Louis then a year or two she gave birth to Philip. Why could she not get pregnant before that was the question people asked. Maybe the real father who one or both of the boys looked like had to be hidden away never to be seen again. Who knows, people back then and even farther back did some weird things. That were normal for their times but weird seen through out eyes.
That's intriguing! I hadn't encountered this theory in my research. However, the protocol wouldn't permit a royal to serve as a valet for others. Thanks for sharing!
This is great!
Is the gravesite's location known? DNA if viable, could solve the mystery.
