Who was D’Artagnan? His real name was Charles de Batz de Castelmore, born and raised in Gascony from 1611-1673. He was immortalized as the fourth musketeer in Alexandre Dumas’ novel "The Three Musketeers". As one of the members of the private army of kings Louis the Thirteenth and Louis the Fourteenth, his reputation for brave, chivalrous and sometimes reckless deeds lives in the hearts of all Gascons at home and abroad
