In the tenth century, the city was known as Canua. The name may derive from the word cane. Canua was probably a small Ligurian port, and later a Roman outpost on Le Suquet hill, as evidenced by the Roman tombs found there. On the hill of Le Suquet was built in the eleventh century a tower from which you controlled the marshland where now stands the city instead. Most of the ancient activity, especially the defense, took place on the islands of Lerins and the history of Cannes is the history of the islands. The Île Sainte-Marguerite (Lero) is the largest of the Lerins Islands in front of Cannes in France. It was the place of imprisonment of the legendary Man with the Iron Mask. Man in the Iron Mask is one of the most famous prisoners of French history. The mystery of his existence, as well as various films and novels which he has been, have not ceased to excite the imagination. note: Act Nut Man in the Iron Mask. Extract from the inputs and outputs of the Bastille on 18 September 1698. (M.S.C.G.) https://youtube/watch?v=b5HfPprtQsQ - The Man in the Iron Mask , anonymous engraving, 1789. According to the statement contained in the caption of this print - which is likely due to revolutionary propaganda - Man in the Iron Mask is none other than Louis de Bourbon, Count of Vermandois , an illegitimate son of Louis XIV . The Man in the Iron Mask , or rather its history, which has so long established research of countless authors , has finally come out of the dark chaos where the barbarous discretion of the interim government had plunged up now . Papers found in the Bastille we learn that the name has never belonged to Louis de Bourbon, Count of Vermandois , natural son of Louis XIV , born October 2, 1667 , who was condemned to perpetual imprisonment for at the age of 16 , gave a blow to the Dauphin. To wrap his face with an impenetrable veil , they covered the face of an iron mask whose chin and steel springs allow him to take his still living it. It is in 1683 that placed the time of his detention. This unfortunate Prince died in the Bastille in 1703 after a captivity of 20 years in various prisons . According to Émile Laloy , author of The Iron Mask : Jacques Stuart Bell , the Abbe Prignani ; Redhead Marsilly (1913 ), Louis XV s last king knows this secret. Louis XV was the last king which legend attributes the knowledge of this great secret: Louis XVI completely ignored ; his prime minister, Malesherbes, was doing research in the archives of the Bastille to elucidate ; Knight of the prison staff , sent November 19, 1775 to the Minister the results he had found nothing beyond what we already knew . According to a tradition mentioned by Madame d Abrantes Paul Lacroix, Napoleon would have eagerly desired to know the secret of the mystery. He ordered research that remained without result; it was in vain for several years secretary of M. de Talleyrand rummaged in the archives of Foreign Affairs and the Duke of Bassano applied all the lights in his judicious mind to clear the area around this dark historical mystery . Chamillart Michel , Minister of War in 1703 , also knew the secret. His son , the Duke de la Feuillade , tried to discover this secret as explained Voltaire. M. de Chamillart was the last minister who had this strange secret . The second Marshal La Feuillade , his son , told me that the death of his stepfather, he begged on his knees to teach him what it was that this man, we never knew that under the name of the man in the iron mask . Chamillart replied that it was the secret of the State, and that he had sworn to never reveal. According to historian Emmanuel Pénicaut , author of a biography of Michel Chamillart , a family tradition that the secret has been passed from father to son in the Chamillart family until the death of the last bearer of the name , Lionel Chamillart , in 1926. gutenberg.org/ebooks/2609 - At Madame de Pompadour, who asked about the revelations of Voltaire, Louis XV replied that the Iron Mask was a minister of a prince of Italy . Louis XVI, to satisfy the curiosity of Marie Antoinette, had found nothing in secret papers , questioned the oldest of his ministers, Maurepas, who told him it was a very dangerous prisoner by his spirit of intrigue and about the Duke of Mantua . This indication was at the origin of the thesis identifies the Iron Mask Count Ercole Mattioli (or Antoine- Matthioli Hercules ), former Secretary of State Charles II Duke of Mantua . The prisoners name carried on the nut of the Bastille and the parish register of St. Paul register would have been correct, but slightly distorted. This thesis now classic was defended by Marius Topin and historian Frantz Funck -Brentano . Matthioli was actually held in the custody of Pinerolo Saint- Mars. His imprisonment resulted , moreover , a personal order of Louis XIV . Indeed, circumvented by the abbot of Daises , Ambassador of France to Venice, Matthioli had persuaded the Duke of Mantua to sell secretly to France the stronghold of Casal, fifteen leagues from Turin. The case failed at the last moment before the hostility courses Turin , Venice, Madrid and Vienna, which had been prevented by the same Matthioli . Double game he had ridiculed Louis XIV who had written to him in person, January 12, 1678 , thanking him for his intervention . Father of Daises , who had been appointed ambassador to Turin , managed to attract Matthioli in a house nearby where a commando led by Captain Catinat took the 2 May 1679 to lead the neighboring fortress of Pinerolo . Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Pomponio , giving approval of Louis XIV in the operation, had taken care to explain: It will take nobody knows what that man will become. It was indeed somewhat consistent with diplomatic practices and to remove and imprison a minister of a foreign prince. This reason could account for the severe secrecy was compelled the prisoner. However, several factors seem to contradict this identification : The correspondence between Louvois and Saint-Mars preserved in the archives of the War Department - where Matthioli is first referred to as Lestang - shows that it was not treated with the respect attributed to the Iron Mask : The for the king is not the Sieur de Lestang be treated well ( 25 May 1679 ) . If Matthioli was served at Pinerolo by his valet , it is because the latter, who had been instructed to retrieve his papers had been imprisoned with him so he can not reveal the secret of his incarceration. Following the sale of Casal to France in 1682 , the Duke of Mantua was informed of the arrest of Matthioli . The secret had no reason to be maintained, and the prisoner was also designated under his real name in the correspondence of Louvois and Saint- Mars. Matthioli did not follow Exilles to Saint-Mars in 1681, but remained in Pinerolo until April 1694 , when he was transferred to Sainte -Marguerite , following the sale of Pinerolo to Savoy . This is evidenced by a letter of Saint-Mars to the abbot of Platforms 25 June 1681 ( Matthioli remain here with two other prisoners ) and several letters from Louvois to the successors of Saint-Mars in Pinerolo . Matthioli died shortly after his transfer to Sainte -Marguerite , probably April 29, 1694 . Indeed, we know that date died a prisoner who was served by his valet . Matthioli gold was the only inmate in Sainte -Marguerite , could then enjoy this privilege . It therefore appears that the prisoner died in the Bastille in 1703 was not Matthioli and that it is only with the intention to muddy the name of it ( or a close name) was brought on record . Dedicated to my mother, Tonia (partisan, poet and painter from the age of 14 years), now in its 83 years.
