‘The Man in the Iron Mask’ is a historical fiction novel, written by Alexandre Dumas, that takes place in the 1600s in France. Aramis, one of the former musketeers and a bishop, goes to the Bastille to visit Philippe, the imprisoned twin brother of the current king, Louis XIV. He tells Philippe that he can put him on the throne, switching him with his brother. Philippe is apprehensive at first, but Aramis insists the two men can do great things together. At a party in Vaux, thrown by Fouquet, one of the king’s advisors, Aramis plans to make the switch. The king is not pleased with the party’s lavishness, and uses missing money from the treasury as a reason to arrest Fouquet.
