The Forty-five guardsmen of the title are Gascons engaged by the Duke of Épernon, favourite of the King, to accept a secret mission. It concerns the revenge of Diane de Méridor upon the Duc d’Anjou for his base betrayal of Bussy d’Amboise.

The sequel to Chicot the Jester and final book of the “Cycle des Valois.” This story begins six years after the famed “Duel of the Mignons” between the favorites of the courts of King Henry III and Henri the Duke of Guise (somewhat allied with the King’ brother, Francis, Duke d’Anjou and Alencon). Dumas concludes his historical fiction on the War of the Three Henries while: detailing the formation of the Forty-Five Guardsmen (who were to become the Musketeers); following Chicot the Jester as he stays loyal to the failing regency of King Henry III; and continuing the story of Diana (a principal character in the previous book).
