A skeleton which could belong to d'Artagnan, the French soldier who inspired the novel "The Three Musketeers," has been discovered in a church in Maastricht, the Dutch city where he died centuries ago. The skeleton was found in the nave of a modern church whose origins date back to at least the 13th century, during repairs related to a partial floor collapse. D'Artagnan, the famous musketeer of Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV, spent his life in the service of the French crown and inspired Alexandre Dumas's 19th century hero in "The Three Musketeers," a character now known worldwide thanks to the novel and numerous film adaptations. D'Artagnan was killed during the siege of Maastricht in 1673. His final resting place has remained a mystery ever since. https://t.co/tBjcCVDsDR
