Secret about the Duchess de Winters! I love you, OP, she was an awesome, brilliant villain.

If the stories weren't so through-and-through sexist, I'd borrow your headcanon. But there's this running theme of women being innocent, harmless creatures, or diabolically treacherous monsters who would get away with every kind of infamy if it weren't for Real Men standing up to them. So I still think Athos was more apt to be permanently traumatized about having married a scary, ruthless, criminal mastermind (woe is him, amirite? The author certainly seems to think so,) than he was about second-guessing himself for hanging her.

I find it interesting that most of the more recent adaptations seem to be reading things OP's way.

AYRT

Hmm, not sure if want, given that he turns out to have been completely plot!justified in his murder attempt, and the Musketeers end up having to kill her. (And god, that scene where they reconcile with the Gray Eminence, and even he forgives them for kidnapping and beheading Milady and is basically relieved she's gone even though she was his best agent. I had such mixed feelings about that book all the way through.)

But that is interesting, and I didn't know because I only read the books. So thanks for mentioning it, anon.
