16:12Now PlayingIn the “The Three Musketeers” Alexandre Dumas and his co-author Auguste Maquet take the reader to 17th century France to witness the adventures of the four brothers in arms. However, the romantic tales and adventures of the swashbuckler of Dumas’ novel shatter into pieces stand in stark when contrasted to the harsh and brutal reality of the Musketeers of the King’s Guard. This video is part of the history collaboration project France and sets out on the tracks of the real musketeers. It explains how modern historiography characterizes both, the corresponding historical characters, and the Musketeers of the Guard as a military unit.
