      Uh, it's what's called an 'historical novel', meaning it's fiction...made up stuff...based on real people and historical events the author chose to hang his story on. Never meant to be "true" as a history of the time. Also, Dumas was writing about events and people two hundred years earlier, after the French revolution, so he had a social/political bias that he wanted to convey, as well as writing a damn fine swashbuckler. But it's just a story, folks.

      Thomas Alexandre Davy de Palitierre was born in the French Caribbean colony of St Domingue (now Haiti) to a French aristocrat planter and his slave concubine. His father took him as a boy to France, gave him an upper class education and upbringing. Thomas enrolled in the French Military Academy then joined the army as a private as Thomas Alexandre Dumas using his mother's surname of Dumas.
      He had a brilliant career, rising through the ranks, was colonel and second in command in the Legion St Georges aka the Black Legion, Europe's first black regiment made up of black French troops and officers. He then rose to General in charge of the Pyrenees Army and Swiss Army of the Alps commanding more than 50,000 European troops. He later led the cavalry during Napoleon's Egyptian Expedition, during which he fell out of favor with Napoleon for criticizing the poor treatment and conditions of the expedition's troops. On his way back to France he was captured by the Italians and imprisoned. A still bitter Napoleon refused to ransom him and he remained in captivity under poor conditions for 3 years. He died shortly after his release. Napoleon refused to have his military pension and back pay for his imprisonment paid to Dumas' surviving wife and son (future author Alexandre Dumas) causing them to live in relative poverty.
      Dumas was an exemplary swordsman and horseman, once singlehandedly defended a vital bridge against multiple assailants while being wounded several times until reinforcements arrived, on another occasion led his troops up a sheer cliff to successfully seize a fortified position. A monument to him in the center of Paris was ordered destroyed by HitIer when the Germans entered the city during WW2.
      A descendant of Dumas, Alexandre Lippman medalled for France in 4 Olympics in fencing.
      Thomas was one of a handful of black or biracial to attain the rank of General more than a century before the first black US General.

      The book and the films give him a bad press. I read three biographies on him, and all agreed he was overplaying his bodily deficits with being of a sparkling intelligence and a rather charming and on top not that sinister cat-caresser but a ladie's man.
      One biography claimed he was actually very nice to Queen Anne, preventing her of being divorced because of her first miscarriages and the Buckingham-affair, when charming Buckingham tried to persuade her to run off to Virginia with him, and L13 was about divorcing his wife, though she had jumped from de Vere's carriage, thinking it improper (and mainly fearing a beheading for high treason if caught running off with a lover).
      In another biography there even was a film-ripe scene of Anne learning that her mother-in-law Maria and her brother-in-law Gaston were trying to get rid of her sickly husband, and not believing that Gaston would keep his word of marrying her (an always miscarrying and used up wife) after his brother was gone, she - rummaging a wardrobe allegedly coming over a feather Louis 13 had gifted her for their wedding or some other souvenier from her early marriage - believing it was a sign by god, decided to run - barefooted and only in her nightshirt beneath a servant's mantle - to Richelieu's place to denounce the plot. And that Richelieu afterwards was the mastermind behind the courtier's plot to get the completely estranged royal couple together again, resulting in the birth of L14 and Philippe.

    Is it really asking too much to research the pronounciation of the most important names? I mean, at least the names of the people….

    Ironically the Catholic church is often if not always portray as the sinister villain when in reality they're not. This is the reason why it is not easy to be a Catholic we're supposed to have both our cheeks slap and not retaliate if we retaliate we're bad.

    Clicked on this video with excitement. Immediately put off when you pronounce the title in French but not the authors name. If you do not take Dumas’ name seriously, then why should I trust anything else you might have to say? Adieu.

    Richeloo? Wtf! No! Nope! Can't keep watching. That was the worst butchering of the French language I've heard in a long while. How hard is it nowadays to get the pronunciation close enough? It's Riche-lee-uh!
    I'm not even French, but that was painful to hear!

      When reading it I hear “Rich-a-low” but the English pronunciation is aree-shuh-loo, the American is rish-uh-loo or rish-loo, and the French thus proper pronunciation is rich-shul-lyoo to me, with a slight accent at the end for lack of better ability to explain myself. Google actually says that pronunciation as “ri-shoe-lyoe” but it doesn’t sound like that when it does the audio

I will never understand what convolute twists and turns it took to, for ex, turn D'Artagnan into Dartanian! But, anyway, here's the correct pronunciation in both languages:
