Storyline
It's 1649: Cardinal Mazarin hires the impoverished D'Artagnan to find the other Musketeers: Oliver Cromwell has overthrown the English King, so Cardinal Mazarin fears revolt, particularly from the popular Duke of Beaufort. Porthos, bored with riches and wanting a title, signs on, but Aramis, an abbé, and Athos, a brawler raising an intellectual son, assist the Duke of Beaufort in secret.
When they fail to halt the Duke's escape from prison, the Musketeers are expendable, and Cardinal Mazarin sends them to London to rescue Charles I. They are also pursued by Justine de Winter, the avenging daughter of Milady de Winter, their enemy twenty years ago. They must escape England, avoid Justine, serve Queen Anne, and secure Beauford's political reforms.
