Gradually, Louis no longer tolerates any dissent, be it his people, Protestants, or the Pope himself. Yet a threat hangs over Louis, in the form of a mysterious prisoner concealed behind a mask ...

KING LOUIS XIV OF FRANCE
Played by George Blagden. Between the arrival of Leopold, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and that of Cardinal Leto, representing the Vatican, Louis is largely occupied by the control of Europe, while in Paris, the people are becoming irritated by taxes.

DUKE PHILIPPE D'ORLEANS
King's brother is played by Alexander Vlahos. He tries to unravel the mystery of a masked man, The Iron Mask, whose existence threatens the very foundations of the Monarchy. His secret could question the legitimacy of Louis and Philippe. Who is he ? How to silence it?
QUEEN MARIE THERESE
Louis' wife is played by Elisa Lasowski. Sister-in-law of Emperor Leopold, Marie Th�r�se succumbs to his charms and goes to support her lover rather than her husband. A very dangerous game.

 FABIEN MARCHAL
The king's security expert is played by amazing Tygh Runyan. Fabien's loyalty will be put to the test. He's troubled by Sophie's return to Versailles.
MADAME DE MAINTENON
King's new lover is played by Catherine Walker. After the dismissal of slutty Madame de Montespan's from the court, Maintenon became Louis's favorite. But despite the many solicitations of the King, she refuses him.

PRINCESS PALATINE
Duchess of Orleans is played by Jessica Clark. A fierce opponent of Maintenon, who removed her newborn baby to send her to royal nurseries in Paris, she will contribute to the reconciliation of Philippe and his idiotic and egotistic lover Chevalier (played by Evan Williams above) and finally reform their scandalous �m�nage � trois�. 

JAVIER BARDEM TO LEAD STEVEN SPIELBERG'S AND AMAZON'S EPIC MINI SERIES ON CONQUISTADOR HERNAN 'CORTES'! 'VERSAILLES' EPIC SERIES TEASER SHOWS THE MAN UNDER THE MASK!

  'CORTES' EPIC TV SERIES
JAVIER BARDEM AND SPIELBERG!
Javier Bardem will play Hernan Cortes
After a whole bunch of amazing new epic TV series that I announced yesterday, here's another one, equally brilliant: Amazon has greenlit four episode mini series CORTES coming from Steven Spielberg's production house based on a half a century old script rewritten by Steven Zaillian who got an Oscar for Schlinder's List! Javier Bardem will take the lead role in the epic saga about the infamous conqueror, Hernan CORTES who, some 500 years ago, led a rebellious expedition to the heart of King Montezuma II�s Aztec empire, connecting two civilizations for the first time and changing the course of history. The producers promise a saga filled with drama and adventure. Cortes was celebrated in Europe as someone who expanded Spanish Empire and viewed as genocidal psycho by Aztec tribes who ended one of the greatest civilizations of that time. About five years ago the spy informed you that Scorsese also planned to make a project on Cortes with Benicio del Toro.
