I’d imagine they fake an American accent. Maybe Burbank, CA?

    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 Reicheleiu’s.

    It was a really shitty French accent. I apologize to the French for that crime….

    (edit, fixed my spelling error… its been a while…)

      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!

      p. s. You still have an extra e in Richelieu. Reich is more German than French

        Cardinal Reichelieu

        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 Louis XIII
