The political prisoner of Louis XIV of France known as the Man in the Iron Mask was brought to the Bastille on Sept. 18, 1698. He died there on Nov. 19, 1703. He was named for the mask he was made to wear to keep his identity a secret. The mask was actually made of black velvet but was later mistakenly recorded in legend as consisting of iron.
