Prisoners of War

Episode 8 of 10

Historical drama. When Grimaud kidnaps Aramis during peace negotiations with the Spanish, the Musketeers battle to rescue him and salvage the Queen's reputation.

Aramis and the Queen's attempts to broker peace with the Spanish go disastrously wrong after Grimaud kidnaps Aramis in a bid to seal an alliance with the influential Duke of Lorraine. Grimaud's demands threaten to ruin the Queen, placing the Musketeers in an impossible situation as they battle to salvage her reputation and rescue Aramis - all while d'Artagnan's family ties threaten to derail the mission. As the King's health goes into spectacular decline and a troublemaker returns to lay claim to Athos, Sylvie becomes a casualty of the ruthless power struggle enveloping Paris.
