In this video:
On November 19, 1703, a tomb in the Bastille’s Saint Paul Cemetery welcomed the corpse of a man who had spent almost the last four decades of his life in various prisons of France. He is without a doubt the most famous prisoner in French history, even though nobody knows why he had to spend over thirty-five years in prison, reportedly in near perfect isolation and often with his face covered.

Amid frustration of not having earned a single academy award, he saw his brother as a threat and subsequently had him locked away with the intention of never having him interact with anyone ever again. He just couldn't find it in himself to have his own brother murdered. This is the story of his compromise.

@Lanwarder 5 лет назад

Actually, some reports say that the mask wasn't in Iron at all but looked that way because of the colour or something like that......it's been a while since I read on the subject but from what I remember there are records of such a prisoner whose identity was hidden, wasn't allowed to speak, was under constant surveillance, etc but the iron mask itself is debated....Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

From what I remember of that story, I always had the feeling Dauger was allowed to serve Fouquet because Fouquet already knew the man's "secret". Prior to his disgrace Fouquet was holding the office of "chancellor of the exchequer" (superintendant des finances), so he must have been private to almost every State secret. And as he was already lucky to have had his life spared, it's unlikely he would have spilled the beans on Dauger. If you want to understand the extent of Fouquet's embezzlment that led him into prison, just check out the "Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte", or better come visit it. It is said the Mirrors Gallery in Versailles had to be extended a couple of meters by Louis XIVth to best his Minister's own castle... Now as to the identity of the man itself, no clues. There's a constant administrative trail followinfg Saint-Mars and _his_ prisonner from prison to prison, but it's been deliberately obscured. I don't think personnaly it was something as fancy as an unknown brother of the King, but most likely someone who was _supposed_ to be dead already, and kept as an asset in case revealing he was very much alive could prove an advantage. For instance a foreign spy.

@danMdan 7 лет назад

Yes indeed the Dumas version is almost pure fiction. However based on a real person who died in the Bastille in 1703, after being previously imprisoned in 3 other French prisons from 1669 - the name ? probably Eustache d'Auger, or just possibly Ercole Matthioli, or maybe LaRiviere

@danMdan 6 лет назад

There is now some general agreement among Mask historians that the man's name was Eustache Dauger (or possibly Danger) - described as "only a valet" in a letter sent by Louvois, War Minister, found in the official French archives of Louis XIV. Now one might ask why he was not simply "disappeared". Possibilities are e.g. that he was some relation to the King or one of his Ministers, or a Priest. To get more than a superficial knowledge of this fascinating subject you need to read books published from around 1825 thru 2016; see authors G.A. Ellis, Rupert Furneaux, Harry Thompson, John Noone, Paul Sonnino to get a balanced view of the story. Another of the usual suspects, and once the favorite, has been Ercole A Matthioli, a traitorous Italian diplomat, but he is thought to have died shortly after his transfer from Pignerol (Pinerolo) to Ste. Marguerite, where Dauger/Danger was also being held after his transfer from Exilles fortress. Dauger is the ONLY State Prisoner who was held by St.-Mars in all 4 prisons - Pignerol, Exilles, St. Marguerite, Bastille, for 34 years from 1669 to 1703 Forget Dumas, Beaufort, Vermandois, Bulonde, and all the other "fairy" stories, made up when there was no access to the French Govt. archives of the period.

Based on the non-fiction book "The Black Count" by Tom Reiss, Alexandre Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo" was heavily modeled on Dumas's father, who was one of Napoleon's generals in Egypt, and who was captured and held in prison in Italy. You might find that an interesting story to investigate.

@angelwhispers2060 4 года назад

I think being some rather fit and handsome servant with at lest a passing resemblance to one of the king's relatives selected to service the queen and provide an heir to the kingdom, Is the most likely theory. He may have very simply been a valet in his regular duties at the palace where he was spotted by the Cardinal or perhaps the Queen and therefore selected for the task. Any man called upon to serve his country by boinking the queen and providing an heir to his country would certainly be grateful to God and to the king he had helped produce. If that is the case it seems very likely that the king would have known that the valet was his father. It's also totally possible that this very same valet was the illegitimate child of some other Noble since keeping Mistresses was not exactly a quiet thing. It would be quite ironic if the impotent King was actually employing the services of his own illegitimate nephew. Since there is plenty of record of Louie the 12th having Mistresses also. Being a bastard or son of a bastard even a royal bastard means him serving as a valet would have been totally normal. When bastards were not killed outright or banished from the country, keeping them close to home was the other common option of the era. If that was the case it would seem keeping him around certainly paid off.

if its just liquid damage on a laptop, most times, the data is secure, just avoid anything like apple products with soldered in storage and you should be golden honestly, hell often, you can repair the laptop for an affordable price. for a normal ssd, just grab a usb sata adapter on amazon, copy your files, wipe drive, use it for external storage or add to a new laptop for extra storage...

I know you have to advertise but can you give us a time stamp to skip or it should be in the beginning or end

If you're going to do mid-video ads, could you put it between the main story and the bonus facts? That would allow the video the flow much better while keeping your revenue sources in place.
