The young priest Milady seduced is only obliquely described as a man living in seclusion and sworn to celibacy and her former status as a nun is omitted. The conflict between the French Catholics and the Protestant Huguenot at La Rochelle is changed to a war between the French and the English with the English besieging La Rochelle.
