When young d'Artagnan travels to Paris to join the ranks of the
Musketeers, he soon finds himself challenged to three duals with
Athos, Porthos and Aramis. However, the foursome is abruptly
attacked by the evil Cardinal Richelieu's guards, and d'Artagnan
fights alongside them, proving his skills with a sword and his
honour. The three Musketeers enfold d'Artagnan into their ranks,
and what follows is a swashbuckling tale full of intrigue,
friendship and revenge.Alexandre Dumas got the idea for The Three
Musketeers from Courtilz de Sandras' 1700 novel M moires de
Monsieur d'Artagnan, which was based on real events surrounding the
lives of d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Dumas made them
human, gave them colour, and made them more real than even the
truth itself. Since then the term 'Three Musketeers' has been used
to describe a trio of individuals who support each other including
Supreme Court Justices, engineers and Japanese wrestlers.
