First edition. Publisher's original drab paper-covered boards with printed paper title label to the spine. Page edges untrimmed. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with bumping to the corners and a little chipping and a couple of minor old repairs to the spine. The contents with a touch of occasional light scattered foxing are otherwise in very good order, clean throughout and remain free from any previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. A detailed study of the legendary "Man in the Iron Mask" - the mysterious figure who was held captive by the French government from 1687 until his death in 1703, spending most of that time in the Bastille. Long thought to have been the identical twin brother of Louis XIV, here Agar-Ellis concludes that is was in fact the Italian politician Antonio Ercole Matthioli (1640-1694), who had been arrested for treason after selling state secrets. Providing an account of the legend's history and a narrative of Matthioli's own misadventures, followed by the text of 133 contemporary letters from documents in the French archives, the present work was an important source for Alexandre Dumas in writing his story "The Man in the Iron Mask", which formed the most famous and thrilling adventure in "The Vicomte of Bragelonne", the third and final of "The d'Artagnan Romances" charting the swashbuckling escapades of The Three Musketeers.

The Man in the Iron Mask was an unidentified prisoner of state during the reign of King Louis XIV of France. His true identity remains a mystery, although many theories have been put forth, including by Alexandre Dumas in 'The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later,' being the final installment of his D'Artagnan saga. Ellis postulated that the true identity was that of Italian diplomat Count Ercole Antonio Mattioli. 1365525. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.

Ellis, rebound in an attractive modern half morocco biding. The first edition of this work.
