why did they have to cancell the show... I wanna know what the deal with the cross is....and I want Jacqueline and d'Artagnan to have a thing....and I want a happy ening where Mazrin and his men are arrested and yeah.... Except that in history, Mazarin died, about four years later, still the Prime Minister...but then, when did actual history stop the writers of this show? We all wish there were more....

You guys bring up a good point about fanfic writing. I can only tell you what went through my mind while writing Swordplay and SOTC. As much as possible, I wanted to blend with history. Knowing Mazarin remained in office, and that the whole YB fabrication was ... fabricating him as evil, I went with the for-the-good-of-France-we'll-not-destroy-his-office-while-basically-ursurping-his-power approach.
I agree with you potc166, according to the YB universe, Mazarin needed to be out! For the sake of history though, I connected the dots as well as possible. Of course any fictional work has artistic license to do as they will. But that's the approach I took.
