===Dauger's subsequent prisons=== [[File:Exilles02.JPG|thumb|left|[[Fortress of Exilles]]]] Lauzun was freed on 22 April 1681.{{sfn|Noone|1988|p=173}} Two months later, Saint-Mars was appointed governor of the prison of the [[Exilles Fort|Exiles Fort]] (now [[Exilles]] in Italy); he went there in September 1681, taking Dauger and La Rivière with him.{{sfn|Noone|1988|p=291}} La Rivière's death was reported in January 1687; in May of that year, Saint-Mars and Dauger moved to [[Île Sainte-Marguerite|Sainte-Marguerite]], one of the [[Lérins Islands]], half a mile offshore from Cannes. It was during the journey to Sainte-Marguerite that rumours spread that the prisoner was wearing an iron mask. Again, he was placed in a cell with multiple doors.{{sfn|Noone|1988}} [[File:Lerins-iron mask prison.jpg|thumb|right|Fort of [[Île Sainte-Marguerite]]]] On 18 September 1698, Saint-Mars took up his new post as governor of the [[Bastille]] prison in Paris, bringing Dauger with him. He was placed in a solitary cell in the prefurnished third chamber of the Bertaudière tower. The prison's second-in-command, de Rosarges, was to feed him. Lieutenant du Junca, another officer of the Bastille, noted that the new prisoner wore "a mask of black velvet". Dauger died there on 19 November 1703 and was buried the next day under the name of "Marchioly".{{sfn|Lincoln ''Timewatch'', 1988}}
