Who was the real D'Artagnan? The true story.

One for all, and all for one! D'Artagnan is a legendary character from the book "The Three Musketeers" but not only... For he was a loyal and brave French musketeer who served Louis XIV and had an epic REAL life. Find out more about his adventures, family and battles in the video (Eng subs, French).
And if you haven't read the trilogy by Alexandre Dumas about D'Artagnan's friendship with Athos, Porthos and Aramis, his adventures in England trying to save King Charles I or his involvement in the Man in the Iron Mask mystery, here is a link to the books on Amazon. Enjoy!

It was in Maastricht where d`Artagnon fell, they put a statue at the place where he fell, just outside of the citywalls of my Hometown Maastricht.

Loved this review, we learned a lot! Thank you so much. My kids are learning French and have just started reading the Three Musketeers. Great timing! 😊

[@FrenchPossum]

Merci ^^ Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment!

[@AshleyS.]

the subtitles are hard to read, a bit fuzzy.

[@FrenchPossum]

Thanks for letting me know :) It may be the video quality which depends on KZbin's loading time... You can also activate the subtitles by clicking on the "subtitle" icon at the bottom right of the video. These should appear on top of the video :) Have a lovely day, and thanks for watching the video ^^ (if you are interested in getting the full English transcript, it's available for free on my website: frenchpossum.com/french-history/real-dartagnan-true-story/ )
