Jean-Armand du Peyrer
Jean-Armand du Peyrer, Comte de Tréville , also de Troisville (* 1598 in Oloron-Sainte-Marie , † May 8, 1672 in Trois-Villes ), was a French officer during the reign of Louis XIII. It is mentioned in Alexandre Dumas ' novel " The Three Musketeers ", which was published in 1844.
Tréville was born in Oloron-Sainte-Marie in 1598 to Marie d'Aramitz and Jean du Peyrer. In 1607, the father bought the Trois-Villes estate, which later became a French community . The nobility associated with the acquisition later enabled the son to pursue an officer career in the Régiment des Gardes françaises , which he entered in 1616. He then moved to the Mousquetaires de la garde and participated as a musketeer in the siege of La Rochelle from 1627 to 1628 . In 1634 Tréville became captain-lieutenant (commanding officer) of the "Compagnie du Roi" (the king's company was always the 1st company) of the musketeers. Several relatives of Tréville joined the musketeers, including his cousins Armand de Sillègue d'Athos d'Autevielle and Henry d'Aramitz in 1640, as well as Charles d'Artagnan de Batz-Castelmore , known as d'Artagnan , who was patronized by Treville .
After the death of Louis XIII. his widow Anna raised Tréville to the rank of count in 1643 as regent for Louis XIV , who was still underage . Due to differences with the First Minister Jules Mazarin , Tréville gave up his post in the royal guard in 1646 and retired to his estates. There he built the Château d'Eliçabéa in Trois-Villes according to the plans of the architect François Mansart , where he died in 1672.
