Paarfi is really a romancer, though he claims to be a historian. He makes up a hell of a
lot more than he says he does. That's my opinion, and I think it is supported by stuff
Steve has said, though I can't give a citation.

Dumas certainly played fast and loose with the history and dates. If you try to track the
dates and durations in the Musketeers trilogy/pentalogy, they fall apart all over the
place. I'm taking my information here from the front matter of the translations I have,
which I believe are the ones that Steve recommended, which my family gave to me for my
last birthday, or maybe Chanukah. :-)
