From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He was NOT of mixed African and European descent.

[edit]

He was a « mousquetaire noir » / "black musketeer" (which means that he belonged to a company riding black horses, not to the other company having grey ones). The violinist who thought he might have black skin mistranslated "mousquetaire noir". The number of musketeers of African descent in 18th century France is 0. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E0A:AAA:29B0:60DF:BCC8:2B1F:6299 (talk) 02:57, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
