Martin Guerre, a Gascon, disappeared from the country after ten years of married life. "Subsequently a certain Arnaud du Thil, bearing a close resemblance to Guerre, presented himself as the missing man, of whose circumstances he had made a close study. He was recognised by Guerre's wife as her husband, and lived with her until a soldier published the fact that the true Martin Guerre was living in Flanders. After a long trial which excited great interest, and the final reappearance of Guerre himself, du Thil was convicted and executed in 1560" (Harvey & Heseltine).
