Jean-Armand du Peyrer, Comte de Troisville (orTresville) (1598 – 8 May 1672) was a French officer. He was fictionalized under the nameMonsieur de Tréville inAlexandre Dumas's 1844 novelThe Three Musketeers.
Du Peyrer was born atOloron-Sainte-Marie. He 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 bought the region ofTrois-Villes which effectively brought him nobility, according to the customs of theBasque Country at the time. This purchase also allowed the elder Du Peyrer the right to be considered agentleman and to sit upon the council of gentlemen in the viscountcy ofSoule. He died atTrois-Villes.
