admired: D’Artagnan (Buckingham is named among the judges who told d’Artagnan he was a hero.) “For five years together, I was a hero every day; at least, so I was told by persons of judgment; and that is a long period for heroism, trust me, sire, a period of five years. Nevertheless, I have faith in what these people told me, for they were good judges. They were named M. de Richelieu, M. de Buckingham, M. de Beaufort, M. de Retz, a mighty genius himself in street warfare,—in short, the king, Louis XIII., and even the queen, your noble mother, who one day condescended to say, ‘Thank you.’”

with D’Artagnan (interaction) “to decamp or conceal myself at the residence of my lord Buckingham, who seems a good sort of devil at the bottom, and to whom, in return for his hospitality, I shall relate all that history of the diamonds”

admirer: Anne of Austria “England, that was her hatred of Richelieu and her love for Buckingham;”
