In four-volume editions, the names of the volumes are kept, except that "Louise de la Vallière" and "The Man in the Iron Mask" are pushed down from second and third to third and fourth, with "Ten Years Later" becoming the second volume. AND WHICH IS THE FIRST VOLUME? THE "VICOMTE DE BRAGELONNE"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.196.194.59 (talk) 23:54, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Raoul and the Crusade[edit]

I changed this:

In the meantime, Raoul, Athos' adopted son, is recruited to fight a war against the Arabs, and after his departure Athos sinks into a deep depression, rapidly becoming old and feeble. When he learns Raoul has died in the war, Athos succumbs to his grief and dies, with Dumas providing a touching and unforgettable description of Athos' decline and final moments.

to this:

In the meantime, Raoul, Athos' adopted son, devastated by his fiancée's love affair with the French king, volunteers to fight a war against the Arabs, and after his departure Athos sinks into a deep depression, rapidly becoming old and feeble. When he learns Raoul has died in the war, Athos succumbs to his grief and dies, with Dumas providing a touching and unforgettable description of Athos' decline and final moments.

All in all, I think this is a poor wiki on Dumas' best book. As for the plot, it's not about the musketeers, it's about Louis and his court. The musketeers are irrelevant to the story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.212.11.150 (talk) 14:58, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree, it deserves better. As mentioned briefly in the introduction, the book is a portrait of Louis XIV and his court, and a devastatingly clever one at that.//erik.bramsen.copenhagen — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.209.216.97 (talk) 10:42, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

It's a classic, but somewhat niche, and I can't find any reviews or significant scholarly analysis which suggest this may fail WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. Can anyone find some good sources discussing this work? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:04, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

Hasn't anybody written about the revelation of Athos as the chronicler and his apotheosis, or the emergence of Aramis as the key to French war or peace? In fact Bragelonne is so long because it deals evenhandedly with all four characters from the original novel. 108.51.169.236 (talk) 16:12, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
