    My biggest takeaway from this was that d’Artagnan was based on a real person and not completely made up. The article notes the three musketeers are made up, so at least that aligns with my preconceived ideas.

    Also, not explicitly related to this, I really loved the BBC The Musketeers show.

      The Lady Musketeer is also a fun adaptation with Michael York as d'Artagnan.

    I love the classic novel but I did not expect there to be a real D'Artagnon.
