All for one and one for all

Don’t you remember the “Three musketeers” since you was a kid?
I even pretend to be a D’Artagnan, accompanied by Athos, Porthos and Aramis. We used the handmade wooden rapiers to fight the boys from our class. We were proud of our team, because we were the best blades, needless to say, that our team included only girls.
The rapier first appeared in the late 1400’s. It became a prime weapon of the French musketeers in 1600’s. The rapier was often used with a second defensive weapon; daggers, bucklers, and cloaks were the most popular. Much lighter than the broadsword of medieval times, the rapier brought about a whole new style of swordplay and a proliferation of fencing schools.
Perhaps, the Three Musketeers is the greatest story that has been a perennial delight for generations of readers. The dashing D’Artagnan, a brave and smart hero, joins three Musketeers, loyal servants of the King. These four are pitted against the master of intrigue, Cardinal Richelieu, and the quintessential wicked Milady.
Dumas was quite expert in pacing and varying action while weaving historical fact with purest fiction. His romantic literary developed the rapier/ fencing as a sport, and his -“All for one and one for all”- has been using today as symbol of united harmony and friendship.
