Dumas wrote[3] that the idea of revenge in The Count of Monte Cristo
came from a story in a book compiled by Jacques Peuchet, a French
police archivist, published in 1838 after the death of the author.[4] Dumas included this essay in one of the editions from 1846.[5] Peuchet told of a shoemaker, Pierre Picaud, living in Nîmes
in 1807, who was engaged to marry a rich woman when three jealous
friends falsely accused him of being a spy for England. Picaud was
placed under a form of house arrest in the Fenestrelle Fort,
where he served as a servant to a rich Italian cleric. When the man
died, he left his fortune to Picaud, whom he had begun to treat as a
son. Picaud then spent years plotting his revenge on the three men who
were responsible for his misfortune. He stabbed the first with a dagger
on which were printed the words "Number One", and then he poisoned the
second. The third man's son he lured into crime and his daughter into
prostitution, finally stabbing the man himself. This third man, named
Loupian, had married Picaud's fiancée while Picaud was under arrest.
In another of the "True Stories", Peuchet describes a poisoning in a
family. This story, also quoted in the Pleiade edition, has obviously
served as model for the chapter of the murders inside the Villefort
family. The introduction to the Pleiade edition mentions other sources
from real life: Abbé Faria
existed and died in 1819 after a life with much resemblance to that of
the Faria in the novel. As for Dantès, his fate is quite different from
his model in Peuchet's book, since the latter is murdered by the
"Caderousse" of the plot. But Dantès has "alter egos" in two other Dumas
works; in "Pauline" from 1838, and more significantly in "Georges" from
1843, where a young man with black ancestry is preparing a revenge
against white people who had humiliated him.

Minecraft is not medieval-themed!!! As a matter of fact, it doesn't have a set time. And when and WHY did putting reponses in the quote, especially long ones, become a trend in the Suggestions?
