[edit] Vivien de Bulonde
According to the French Wikipédia article, the identification with Vivien de Bulonde is just one hypothesis among others and lacks consistency in several respects. (I know nothing about the matter and have no opinion one way or the other. But perhaps the view that is upheld here should be sourced.) - Mu 21:18, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
The page has since been changed but Mu was correct to query the previous entry. There is compelling evidence (see revised version) that the theory that Bulonde was the Man in the Iron Mask is based on an entirely false premise and that he was alive, and free, at a time that makes it impossible for him to be the Mask.
- You also wiped out the former article structure with your "additions" so I have reverted it. Edit the article instead of demolishing it.- Skysmith 19:48, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Prince in Prison
The theme of a prince in prison goes back to Siddartha Gautama, Barlaam and Josaphath and Don Carlos, perhaps we should have an article about it.

- Marius Topin's views on the identity of the Man in the Iron Mask were published in France in 1870 and translated in to English and published by Henry Vizetelly. Historical studies by Topin, published between 1863 and 1881 are listed in the catalogue of the [Bibliotheque Nationale] (Paris).
[edit] Vandalism
