Talk:The Musketeers

Questions

• If it is now "of international status", how can they meet in London?
• What is the film about? Their meetings in London bars? What?

Very observant JackofOz. As far as I know:

• The london members meet regularly. As a group they set specific dates that the whole group convene.
• The film is a postmodern take on London life through the eyes of a disheartened and alienated Londoner.

List of The Musketeers episodes?

Hi, I don't know if anyone's watching this page, but do you think this list is needed? I have been looking at Featured Lists of episodes, such as List of Vampire Knight episodes, and wasn't sure if there were enough episodes yet to warrant a separate article. I feel that there are, but does anyone else have an opinion (pinging Fort esc, who I know likes TV articles). Thanks, Matty.007 18:08, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

I would wait until more series are announced. In my opinion, the separate article isn't really necessary at the moment. I would suggest that the layout should be the same as List of Merlin episodes for example, with each individual series having its own article but not yet. Thanks, Fort esc (talk) 20:10, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Hmm. Series 2 in the pipeline, only 2 less episodes than Merlin series 1, more prose... Thanks, Matty.007 20:18, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Protestant blunder trivia

Just wanted to point out, should someone desire to make a trivia and blunder section. I forget the episode now, but the one with the terrorist that was killed by his own bankrupt father. They said that it was not possible that they were anti-protestant terrorists, as their entire family has been protestant for many generations. The protestant reformation began around this exact time frame as the story line of the show. And it was generally only a German thing. So, while there is a chance the family may be Germanic French, that are also protestants, it is impossible that they had been protestant for "many generations". Odd a British show would mess this up so badly. Actually, there are many other references being made to protestants. Like the German king or duke or whatever that visited and was falsely imprisoned.

There is no error, Martin Luther (German) preached 100 years before the 1630 setting of this series. In England the reforms (the Church of England is the reformed Catholic Church to this day) completed by Henry VIII's son Edward, Henry was always a lukewarm reformer, reversed by his daughter Mary and reversed again by his daughter Elizabeth. The French Huguenot's were very active in the 1500's until forced out of France. It's all here on Wikipedia. The series is accurate and one of the Musketeers shows his leaning to the protestants might not have been in the book but makes his character more interesting for television.REVUpminster (talk) 07:43, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Indeed no such blunder, Louis XIII's father was Henry IV, who had witnessed the terrible St Bartholomew's Day Massacre of protestants and who himself was raised protestant. Henry IV allowed himself to be converted to Catholicism prior to ascending the throne, but there are doubts about the sincerity of his conversion. Most importantly for the reign of Louis XIII though, Henry IV promulgated the Edict of Nantes, which granted civic rights to protestants. Louis XIII was constantly pressed to revoke the edict, and although Richelieu did manage to siege and subdue the protestant towns of La Rochelle and Montaubon, Louis XIII never revoked the edict. The edict was eventually revoked by Louis XIV. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 00:23, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Fate of Cardinal Richelieu?

Since Cardinal Richelieu plays such a significant bad guy role in the original source material, novel The Three Musketeers, what is to become of him in this TV show now that Peter Capaldi was chosen as the new incarnation of Doctor Who? (I don't see where the Cardinal was dispatched in the episode descriptions, so perhaps a new player has been recruited?) Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 05:19, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
