The movie the Man in the Iron Mask is based on the novel of the same name by Alexander Dumas. The novel is based upon a real legend. However, the real man wore a velvet mask to conceal his identity, not an iron one.

It is not proven who he was, although there are many, many theories. It is safe to say, however, that he was likely notthe unknown twin brother of the king.

The Wikipedia entry is an excellent source of information on this legend. See the Related Link below.

Besides the movie, it's true that there was a real "man in the iron mask" and is even mentioned in the Memoirs of Mme du Barry. He is disputed to be either the Duc de Vermandois, a twin brother of Louis XIV, or an elder brother of Louis XIV. However, it should be noted that the "Iron Mask" wasn't an iron mask at all. It was a simple mask of black velvet.
