the unit that Charles de Batz de Castelmore served in was called Les Mousquetaires du Roi, or the the Musketeers of the king. Charles de Batz de Castlemore served as a captain in the unit during Lois XIII and Dumas roughly based his novels off his exploits.
As an aside, one of the few things the movies gets right about the novel (or even just the period) was the general foppishness of the military culture and upper-classes of the time.
He is in ten years later (which iirc, the movie is closer to in plot.)
In the books, he goes to the musketeers and presents his father’s letter of introduction, but gets turned away since he needed to serve a period of time in another unit. By the end of musketeers, he joins the Cardinal’s and goes to war with the three.
Edit: to clarify, the war is against England, not the cardinal. the Duke of Buckingham invades and france’s armies are called up- including both the Cardinal’s church soldiers and the king’s musketeers. There’s a lovely little scene where they’re at a siege, the defenders are lobbing cannon at them, and the french infantry are mostly hanging back waiting for something to change. D’Artangan takes a dare or bet to go eat lunch within range of the castle’s cannon and the three go join him, hurling insults at the english.
d’Artagnan isn’t a Musketeer 😜
He wants to be but he’s an asshole and how he gets mixed up with the others is a great fucking story
I’ve not read the book spin-off with human characters, I’ve only seen the original one with the cartoon dogs.
I always have to stop and think twice before saying D’artagnan, to me still is D’artacán.
Toy mean Dogtanan?
I’m not familiar with that one

I recommend at least watching the intro, so you can have The theme tune stuck in your head for several years.
A combo I’d never expect, but in hindsight makes perfect sense.
It still doesn’t make sense to me.
So which ones Albert?
None of them use muskets?
they were the royal guard, its just what they were called. the musket was not really a thing at that time, it was mostly called a arquebus

Does he eat a baguette and then smoke a cigarette?
Maybe that’s just the face Patrick Stewart makes when he finds a person who isn’t well versed in the classics, and he reused it for that episode.
