00:00Whether it was through a book or one of the movies, many of us grew up familiar with the heroes
00:04of the Three Musketeers.
00:06Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan.
00:09Yes, that is four. Don't get distracted. We can't get bogged down in that right now.
00:12What you might not know is that all of the figures in the Three Musketeers are based on real historical
00:18figures, particularly D'Artagnan.
00:21There was a real man who went by the name Charles de Bas de Castlemore, who otherwise was known as
00:27D'Artagnan.
00:27I'm going to refer to him as D'Artagnan because otherwise that's a mouthful.
00:30Anyway, they just found the body of the real D'Artagnan buried underneath a church in the Netherlands.
00:36It was long suspected that he was buried underneath there, but they didn't want to disturb the floor of the
00:41house of worship to look for him.
00:43They were doing some kind of, you know, little renos, a little bit of like, you know, like a love
00:47it or list it kind of situation with this church.
00:49And they thought, while we're here, let's take a peek down and see.
00:52And they found the bones of the real life D'Artagnan.
00:55An even bigger surprise for me with the version of the story I grew up with, the real D'Artagnan
01:00looked nothing like Mickey Mouse.
