The Cardinal’s Guard with Shouldered Musket
Just after Louis XIII raised his own personal guard company, “The Musketeers”, he raised a second company to be the bodyguards of his most trusted Cardinal ... Richelieu. A great rivalry grew up between these two bodies of fighting men ... resulting in almost ‘open-warfare’ whenever (and wherever) their separate paths crossed. One simple way to recognize each group is by their ‘casques’ (or cassocks): the Musketeers wore blue and the Cardinal’s men adopted their master’s preference . . . RED! Our figure stands holding his musket rest in one hand and his musket over the shoulder.
RETIRED.
LAST TWO!!
