Dutch skeleton discovery could be the real remains of French muskeeter d'Artagnan

A skeleton that could be that of d'Artagnan, the French soldier who inspired the novel "The Three Musketeers", has been discovered in a church in the Dutch city where he died several centuries ago.

According to local media, the skeleton was unearthed in Maastricht, in the nave of a modern church whose origins date back to at least the 13th century. The bones were found during repair work following a partial collapse of the floor in February, explains L1 Nieuws (source in French), a media outlet in the province of Limburg.
