Claude De Bourdeille, Comte De Montrésor
Claude de Bourdeille, comte de Montrésor (c. 1606–1663) was a French aristocrat and Count of Montrésor, who played a role in the intrigues of the first half of the 17th century, and was also a memoir-writer. He left his ''Mémoires'', published posthumously in 1663. The Eleventh Edition of the ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' notes in its entry on the Count of Montrésor that "His ''Mémoires'' have preserved his name from the oblivion otherwise awaiting such intriguers; they are written with naīve frankness and are extremely interesting."

Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive – in this case, by immurement. As in "The Black Cat (short story), The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart", Poe conveys the story from the murderer's perspective. Montresor invites Fortunato to sample amontillado that he has just purchased without proving its authenticity. Fortunato follows him into the Montresor family vaults, which also serve as catacombs.
