The 101 e régiment d'infanterie was an infantry regiment, originally as a foreign regiment (Régiment étrangére), set up in the Kingdom of France and in service during the Ancien Régime (then with a few interruptions) until it was dissolved in 1940. The addition "Royal" stated that it was a regiment of the crown, the regiment owner (colonel) was the king himself and it was led militarily by a colonel en second . It was a so-called ( alien regiment ) (Régiment étrangere). Most of the teams had been recruited in the Principality of Liège . After the king (also as regiment owner) was deposed in 1792, these soldiers saw their oath of loyalty as expired and went home or joined other armed forces (e.g. the army of the emigrants of the Count d'Artois ). The regiment was reorganized from the remainder.
Before the numbering of regiments was introduced on January 1, 1791, it was last named Régiment de Royal-Liégeois in the royal French army .

Mestres de camp / Colonels
Mestre de camp was from 1569 to 1661 and from 1730 to 1780 the denomination of rank for the regiment holder and / or for the officer in charge of the regiment. The name "Colonel" was used from 1721 to 1730, from 1791 to 1793 and from 1803 onwards.
After 1791 there were no more regimental owners.
Should the Mestre de camp / Colonel be a person of the high nobility who had no interest in leading the regiment (such as the king or queen), the command was given to the "Mestre de camp lieutenant" (or “Mestre de camp en second”) or the “Colonel-lieutenant” or “Colonel en second”.
