Life
Aramitz was born of noble ancestry to Charles d'Aramitz and Catherine d'Espalungue de Rague in
maréchal-des-logis for the Musketeers of the Guard, but upon the death of Henri's grandfather, Abbé Pierre d'Aramitz, Charles returned to Béarn and took over his father's abbacy.[5]
His grandfather was indeed a Huguenot captain, though there is no proof of Henri d'Aramitz being himself a Protestant (he married a devout Catholic).
Henri d'Aramitz's uncle, the
Comte d'Artagnan. The Mémoires de M. d'Artagnan, written by Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras, later served as the basis for Alexandre Dumas's novel The Three Musketeers. In May 1640 Aramitz joined the Musketeers of the Guard.[2][6]
Aramitz married Jeanne de Béarn-Bonnasse on February 16, 1650 and had two sons (Clément and Amant) and one daughter.[2][5][6] Following his father's death in 1648, he resigned from the Guard and took over as abbé of Béarn.[5][7] Sources disagree on his date of death, recorded as either 1655 or 1674.[3][5]
