THEORIES OF RELATEEVEETY - THE FOUQUETS

“THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK”

From Wikipedia:
Nicolas Fouquet, marquis de Belle-Île, vicomte de Melun et Vaux (27 January 1615 – 23 March 1680) was the Superintendent of Finances in France from 1653 until 1661 under King Louis XIV. He had a glittering career, and acquired enormous wealth. He fell out of favor, accused of peculation (maladministration of the state's funds) and lèse-majesté (actions harmful to the well-being of the monarch). The king had him imprisoned from 1661 until his death in 1680.

Fouquet's story is often entwined with that of the Man in the Iron Mask, who is often identified as the true king or even as an identical twin brother of Louis XIV.

As such, he is a pivotal character in Alexandre Dumas' novel “The Vicomte de Bragelonne”, where he is depicted heroically. Aramis, an ally of Fouquet, tries to seize power by replacing Louis XIV with his identical twin brother. It is Fouquet who, out of sheer loyalty to the crown, foils Aramis' plot and saves Louis. This does not, however, prevent his downfall.
In the 1977 TV movie “The Man In The Iron Mask”, the characters of Fouquet and Aramis are reversed as far as hero and villain are concerned, and the plot does prove successful.  And that’s how History stands in Toobworld.

Only in Earth Prime-Time, Fouquet’s family tree led to a descendant named Raymond Fouquet, born in 1920.  In 1964, he plotted to steal a string of pearls which belonged to Madam Chen, the wife of the leader of East Viet Phieu.  Standing in his way was the modern Robin Hood, Simon Templar.
