Armand d'Athos

Armand, Seigneur de Sillègue, d'Athos, et d'Autevielle, better known as Armand d'Athos, was a Gascon black musketeer of the Maison du Roi in 17th century France. He took his name from a small market town of Athos-Aspis on the Gave d'Oloron, close to Sauveterre-de-Béarn and Autevielle. Athos was the first cousin once removed to the Comte de Troisville and first cousin of Isaac de Porthau. According to the semi-fictional Mémoires de M. d'Artagnan, he formed a close friendship with Henri d'Aramitz and the aforementioned de Porthau, and they were called the "three brothers". He served as the inspiration for Alexandre Dumas's character of the same name in the d'Artagnan Romances.
