By Lucy Catherine The origin story of Milady de Winter, one of the great villains of classic fiction. Created by Alexandre Dumas, Milady is Cardinal Richelieu's deadly, venemous spy in The Three Musketeers. In this original, two-part drama, we tell Milady's genesis story, charting her rise from spirited provincial teenager to deadly poltical operative in 17th century Paris and London. In the previous episode, Milady's husband attempted to murder her after he discovered that she was branded with the fleur-de-lys, a symbol marking her as a convicted criminal. Now Milady drifts to Paris and is about to come under the influence of the most powerful man in France. Milady . . . . . Anjana Vasan Cardinal Richelieu . . . . . Carl Prekopp Athos . . . . .
