D'Artagnan defeated by French policeman

Okay, it was in a court case over a name change rather than in a dazzling rapier duel, but it's still delighfully ignominious: "Aymeri de Montesquiou Fezensac d'Artagnan, a French senator and president of the Company of Musketeers, denounced the [police] officer as unfit for such a glorious name. The policeman's grandmother, who died last year, was not a member of the French aristocracy, Senator de Montesquiou Fezensac d'Artagnan argued. She spelt her name with a capital 'D', whereas the French nobility always used a small 'd', his spokeswoman said." Quite the parvenu, then.
