The Forty Five Guardsmen
A Historical Fiction Novel by Alexandre Dumas
Book 3 of the Valois Trilogy Series
First published in 1847 and a sequel to "Chicot the Jester," Alexandre Dumas's historical novel "The Forty Five Guardsmen" tells the story of Diane de Méridor's quest for revenge upon Duc d'Anjou – for his heinous betrayal of Bussy d'Amboise.
Historically it commences with the execution of Salcède and the arrival of the Forty Five at Paris, and deals with the Guise intrigues, the campaign of Anjou in Flanders and his death; the events in the novel take place in 1584 and 85.
The novel is the third volume of The Valois Trilogy, coming after "Queen Margot" and "Chicot the Jester" in that order.
