Amateur. 2021. No. 061 January

The main theme of the January release is musketeers.
Personal security is an ordinary thing for a European monarch. But of all the royal guard? Only French musketeers managed to become a legend. World glory came to them posthumously. When Alexander Dumas wrote a famous novel, there was no longer a single royal musketeer in France - their companies were disbanded back in 1775.
Almost everyone knows the heroes of the novel by Alexander Dumas "Three Musketeers". Their adventures have been intriguing readers for 176 years. But it is far from always what is happening in the book is related to the real life of the prototypes of the characters. This does not mean at all that their real life was boring. At least about the protagonist - d"Artagnan - you definitely can’t say this.
Athos, Portos and Aramis really served in the royal musketeers, however, they did not go behind the pendants of the queen, and they were unlikely to be friends at all. But all three were Gaskons, more precisely - to the Bearns, and distant relatives.

In the famous trilogy about d"Artagnan and his friends, she is a very noticeable character, however, in the "three musketeers" the duchess never appears.
The confrontation between England and France at the beginning of the XVII century is also the confrontation of two ambitious and powerful ministers. French cardinal Richelieu? And English George Viliers, Duke of Backingham. "The capture of La Rochelles is one of Richelieo"s main military victories. France managed to suppress the Protestants - a dangerous internal enemy. The siege of the fortress lasted more than a year, and the key to the victory was the construction of a dam that cut off the la-rochel from the sea.
