Description 1 online resource (53 minutes) Summary After four years at war, the Musketeers return to a Paris seething with violence and poverty. A seemingly indifferent King has entrusted his affairs to corrupt new Governor of Paris, Philippe Feron. When he joins forces with amoral gangster and financier Lucien Grimaud, their combined hunger for legitimate power makes them a deadly threat to the people of Paris - and the Musketeers' most dangerous enemy yet. Ordered to the heart of this urban powder keg, the Musketeers are charged with preventing catastrophe. Still, they have their own battles to fight. Aramis and the Queen's attempts to broker peace with the Spanish go disastrously wrong after Grimaud kidnaps Aramis in a bid to seal an alliance with the influential Duke of Lorraine. Grimaud's demands threaten to ruin the Queen, placing the Musketeers in an impossible situation as they battle to salvage her reputation and rescue Aramis - all while d'Artagnan's family ties threaten to derail the mission. As the King's health goes into spectacular decline and a troublemaker returns to lay claim to Athos, Sylvie becomes a casualty of the ruthless power struggle enveloping Paris Notes Title from resource description page (viewed May 26, 2022) Cast Tom Burke, Santiago Cabrera, Howard Charles, Alexandra Dowling, Ryan Gage, Tamla Kari, Maimie McCoy, Matthew McNulty, Luke Pasqualino, Hugo Speer, Rupert Everett Notes In English Subject Louis XIII, King of France, 1601-1643 -- Drama Dumas, Alexandre, 1802-1870 -- Television adaptations SUBJECT Dumas, Alexandre, 1802-1870 fast Louis XIII, King of France, 1601-1643 fast Subject Swordsmen -- France -- Drama Swordsmen SUBJECT France -- History -- 17th century -- Drama Subject France Genre/Form Drama Fiction television programs Historical television programs History Television adaptations Historical television programs.
