Does anyone know what happened in this French programme?
I remember watching it in b&w on the telly when I was about 5 or 6 and recall a bunch of blokes with swords being continually pestered by some other chaps…with swords and canons all dubbed but strangely romantic but also pointless??
Can anyone let me know what happened in the end? ( I was very young and probably did not understand the point of the prog).
You might find it on the internet archive (along with a lot of otherwise forgotten programs).
My lasting memory is of pointless struggle, nothing apparently being resolved, but it was a VERY long time ago, when i was young.
Yea right?…just a bunch of dressed up blokes covered in dust getting all angst about dunno what but it was always on during the long summer hols 
I was wrong, it’s not on there.
Perhaps a relief 
Possibly, although in retrospect it might have been interesting to find out what happened. A lack of closure can be frustrating.
Would it have followed what actually happened in real life?
I have never heard of it, I wonder why? 
Then again, what else was I doing in the ‘60s? 
…it just seemed to be an endless stream of blokes coming in and out of besieged castles.
I do remember the music though:
In the end according to Wikipedia..there was a peace conference.ie fizzled out-
The series revolves around the efforts of a dashing French spy to engineer the garrison’s rescue. François, the Chevalier de Recci, and his servant Guillot are trapped in a besieged castle on the border between France and Spain. When the Spanish elite hear of a possible truce between France and Spain, some of them do not want a truce because the capture of the castle has greater strategic importance.
The Spanish begin a bombardment in order to capture the French castle before any form of ceasefire agreement is signed. The garrison commander, General Thoiras, recruits François and Gullot to break through Spanish lines to get word of the attack to the French Army. The pair, with their superior swordplay and horsemanship, embark on a daring mission evading capture, enemy spies and pursuing soldiers to deliver their message. The series ends with the Chevalier bringing news of the peace conference’s decision to the Spanish Forces surrounding the castle.
