In Search of the real-life d’ArtagnanĬharles Ogier de Batz de Castelmore was born at some time around 1611 in a small village called Lupiac in the Gers (Gascony) region of South West France. Whereas Athos is based on Armand de Sillègue d’Athos d’Autevielle, Porthos is based on Isaac de Porthau, and Aramis is based on Henri d’Aramitz. Porthos, Athos, and Aramis were also real people, though their characters are very loosely based on real-life. Formed in 1622, this group was only disbanded in 1816, some years after the French Revolution. The Musketeers of the Guard ( in French, Mousquetaires de la garde) also existed and also known as the King’s Musketeers. However, what you may not know is that d’Artagnan was a real person, and he died in the Franco-Dutch war in the historic city of Maastricht.
