Prison Escapes Mentioned in the Count of Monte Cristo

“Since my imprisonment,” said Abbe Faria, “I have thought over all the most celebrated cases of escape on record. They rarely have been successful. Those that have been crowned with full success have been long meditated upon, and carefully arranged.”

These are two of the three persons and escapes the good Abbe mentioned. I couldn’t find any reference to the third:
  1. François deVendôme, Duke of Beaufort
  2. Jean HenriLatude
  3. Abbe Dubuquoi, For I'Eveque

  1. The third is Jean Albert d'Archambaud, Abbé du Bucquoy, who has an article on the French-language Wikipedia but not the English-language edition.
