    I'm wondering if they didnt keep him alive just in case something happened to the king, because there is always the "heir and a spare" a twin would be an epic spare. Also begs the question of how old was he when they masked him? Did he recieve a similar education in order to have a prepared backup? Soooooo many more questions.

      You're exactly right, if something happened to the king he would need to have a replacement. My question however is thus. He would need to be highly educated in language, politics, music, as all would have to be if they had stature. That would require an army of educators coming and going regularly???

There was a man, Eustace Dauger who was a servant, that had to wear a cloth bag and be silent whenever anyone but his jailer would see him, but there was no iron mask. That, and the twin thing, is an embellishment of the situation by French author Alexandre Dumas, and is even located in the FICTION section of the library/bookstore.

    According to him, the Comte de Paris knows who this person was. It's passed from father to son. However, it is doubtful the mask was of iron but rather made of velvet. The man was under the Guardianship of Bruno de St Mars, following him as he moved from prison to prison.

    It’s unlikely it was the twin to the Louis XIV. Royal births was a spectator event, dozens of people on the room before, during, and after birth. And if the treated him so well in life, why would they leave his body locked in a cell? It’s also if there was a iron mask, it wouldn’t have been worn 24/7 and it would probably be used for transferring the prisoner. Also hiding someone face doesn’t necessarily mean they’re recognizable. It could be a form of torture a way of completely stripping away the persons identity and prevent them from being recognized by family, friends, or associates. It really seems like they cherry picked information here in a form of confirmation bias.

    If he was the twin brother, it seems like there would have been some record of the Queen having twins. That would have been great news. It would have shown the virility of Louis XIII. They would have had an heir and a spare. If, however, Louis XIV had been illegitimate, they would certainly have wanted to hide that information.

      I've read some time ago a very interesting piece of information that pertains to your question: that there was a widespread belief at the time that the second born from a pair of twins was actually the first conceived. I don't know why they were so attached to this belief but they were. In this particular case, twins were not expected, only a single baby by all probabilities, not to mention a very a-typical birth of twins (which occurs nowadays and is not such an extraordinary medical condition). The first that was born was most probably the historical Louis XIV that we all know, everybody would have been happy and would have notified all interested parties, the birth procedures would have been concluded, and everything recorded. 2-3 hours later, contractions would have started again, and the unexpected twin showed up. So there would have been a 2-3 hour delay between the twins. How were they to publicly announce that another baby was born and that baby was (according their belief) the rightful king? It was too late for that.

    If the man in the mask was a brother (twin, true heir/illegitimate, whatever) to the king, I would like to know how he would have been hidden through his entire childhood since he wasn't put into the mask until he was an adult. It doesn't add up that he wasn't "hidden" until that time yet there is no record of a brother to the king (or prince when he/they were young). There are too many unanswered questions to accept this theory as fact. I'm not saying it isn't the truth, just that I would like other questions answered before accepting any theory.

      My thoughts exactly. None of it makes sense. IF there was a twin, how come there is total silence about it? There is gossip about the queen being impregnated by a soldier, but none about a twin? I don't see why you would not just have killed him anyway. The Royals of all nations were bumping each other off all the time, so the 'Oh, .he's my bro' line doesn't wash. Would you want to keep your brother like that? He would have been better off dead. The whole thing is implausible. Why did they not look for a twin, or even for costs and stuff for this mystery man? It is not that long ago, in historical terms; I am sure there would be something Somewhere. also IF this heir was so important, surely they would have had witnesses at the birth. Were they all sworn to silence, or silenced? And what is the big deal about having a twin anyway? They always wanted an heir and at least one spare, they had a BOGOF here! James 2nd of Scotland was a younger twin.

    one important thing to know is that royal births were public (in order to make sure that the baby was born of the Queen)...thus it cannot be a twin...especially knowing that the King and Queen had been waiting 20 years for an heir (at this time chidren died oftern when young, they would'nt have jeopardize the succession by making the twin disappear...). I don't believe in a twin brother, but it could be an illegimate child of the Queen (Mazarin was considered her lover)...but I don't believe it either...it could be someone like Fouquet though (no blood relation with the King, but a very important man of the time and with many secrets and supporters)

    I’m honestly of the opinion that he was the King’s real father. There are rumors that Louis’ father was in the closet, which is why he never produced an heir as a young man, so having someone else father the heir in secret would make sense. And if the biological father looked near identical to the king, that would have caused some serious questions about the legitimacy of the monarchy.

    I am not aware of any Royal sets of twin heirs in history. Has anyone ever heard of this in any house in any country? I'd like to know...

      James 2nd of Scotland was a younger twin. older sibling died in childhood so he inherited. There are plenty of twin royals if you google. Not many heirs to thrones though ,although some are in line.

      A royal twin has been debunked many times by French records. There was a man, Eustace Dauger who was a servant, that had to wear a cloth bag and be silent whenever anyone but his jailer would see him, but there was no iron mask. That, and the twin thing, is an embellishment of the situation by French author Alexandre Dumas, and is even located in the FICTION section of the library/bookstore. Even Dumas didn't claim it was true....

    In those days and earlier all sorts of barbaric things were done too prisoners, if it was the twin of the king why not just forcibly disfigure his face then throw him out in the woods.

      If there were royal twins, they couldn't record it, because it would mean they both had claim. Think about it, there has NEVER been a single recorded set of male twins in ANY dynasty. Don't you think that's a little odd?

    Maybe he was a pious religious royal who asked that it be put on him in some.kind if religious act. There were a lot of monks and religious seekers back then. Maybe a royal with Cathar views. In other words it is possible that he chose to be there.

    I bet the front piece was hinged so it could be opened for shaving, washing, reward, etc., & secured otherwise with a small padlock. Also, there was probably a padded headcovering & it could also be removed for cleaning & exchange as well.

    I dont understand why the older of the two twins would be singled out for some reason to be carted off to prison...this sounds so arbitrary...the other thing could have been that the child had some.sort of disfigurement that meant that his face should not be seen and hence the reason for the iron mask
