RE: [4/4] -- ZORRO -- Anti-Hero of The SouthWest -- The Masked Crusader
I wonder which side was he on during the Siege of La Rochelle? As Irish Catholic he should have been on the side of Cardinal Richelieu and the French army and yet considering his future “Zorro” incarnation I am inclined to see him on the side of the “oppressed” Protestants.
@mgaft1 He was a staunch Irish and maybe not so staunch Catholic, but his roots would have him go against the Huguenots, who where the Protestants, no matter what. At that point, I don't think he had learned to side with the oppressed yet, unless Irish Catholic or enemy of the English Crown.
In other words, he was(would be) in the same camp as Three Musketeers, if they were real people. LOL
funny thing about our legends and myths is that a lot of them are based on sort of true event or person. Take for example Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey. No one believed that there was any semblance of truth until some non-archeologist who loved the works and believed in the words written that he was able to use descriptions within the stories to find the lost city of Troy.
