He forcibly resided in several places, wearing an item reportedly made of velvet but said, in a fictional account, to have been made of something else altogether. His real name is unknown, but he has been identified as a French Marshal, an Italian minister, three different royal bastards, a mere valet, and even the inspiration for quite another work by the author of the fictional account. Who was he? (Or, at least, by what description do we know him?)
