You’re supposed to be the bad guy, tho. So you’re not supposed to apologise for your crime.

Speaking as an American, when I was doing the ren fair thing… I used a shitty French accent and told people it was burgundeon.
It’s bullshit, but a) it was different b) it was fun being “the bad guys”and picking fights (ahem duels) and c) the rest of my costume was fairly on point, as a musketeer- either one of the king’s or Cardinal Reichleiu’s.
It was a really shitty French accent. I apologize to the French for that crime….

Richelieu?

The “evil mastermind” in Les Trois Mousquetaires by Dumas and with, uh, numerous adaptations into film as “The three musketeers”
He was a historical figure and the chief minister to King Lois XIII.

I think they are just pointing out your spelling error. The name would be pronounced differently as you wrote it.

So long as you sounded like the French knight in Monty Python and the holy grail, you’ll have a good chunk of Britain backing you up.

While we’re working on your spelling, it’s
Burgundian
Which, en français, would be
Bourguignon (boor geen yone)
But of course you weren’t doing French, you were doing English in a terrible fake French accent so maybe your spelling is a more accurate representation!

we will go with that and not my bad spelling and mobile being of no help.
