The ''Cadets de Gascogne'', in English the ''Captains of Gascony'', were a French regiment under King Louis XIII. The regiment was mainly recruited from the youngest sons of the aristocratic families of Gascony. The word ''cadet'' comes from the occitan gascon ''capdèth'', meaning chief or captain. Nowadays, the word ''cadet'' is used in French as an equivalent of ''younger son''. The regiment was apparently considered romantic and swashbuckling, so it appealed to authors; it was used in both ''Cyrano de Bergerac'' and the original ''Three Musketeers'' by Dumas. Famous members of the regiment included: * Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac * Antonin Nompar de Caumont * Jean Louis de Nogaret de La Valette The regiment was not maintained under Louis XIV. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cadets de Gascogne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
