[edit] Origins
Like D'Artagnan and Porthos, this man was not from aristocratic stock, but of recent nobility. It was his father, Jean du Peyrer, who introduced the name de Trois-villes or Tréville into the family. In 1607 he effectively bought the region of Trois-Villes which brought to him nobility. Due to this, he won the right to be deemed a gentleman and sat amongst the other gentlemen of the region in the council of the Vicomte de la Soule.
