5 unusual facts about Comte de Rochefort


À toi de faire... mignonne

Guy Delorme, who in 1961 had been the Comte de Rochefort in Borderie's classic film version of The Three Musketeers, acts another time as a scheming bad guy.

Comte de Rochefort

Having been put into bad favor with Richelieu's successor Mazarin, he only comes out of the Bastille after five years.

It is Rochefort who kidnaps Constance Bonacieux, and we eventually learn that he is the other main agent (in addition to Milady de Winter) of Cardinal Richelieu.

Known throughout the novel as "The Man from Meung", his first appearance is in the opening chapter of The Three Musketeers.

Rochefort appears in Jason Sæterøy's 2008 graphic novel The Last Musketeer in which he colludes with the Emperor of Mars to invade Earth.
