  • December 1, 1761: Disbanded and incorporated into the Régiment Royal-Étranger cavalerie .

(The renaming was necessary because the regiment was named after the current owner . If he gave up this post, it was sold on to another solvent mestre de camp , or the king withdrew it and gave it himself to a nobleman who pleased him. )

Combat activities

War of the Austrian Succession

Seven Years War

  • 1756: Battle near Villinghausen
  • 1759: Battle of Bergen , battle near Frankfurt am Main

The dissolution and the associated incorporation into another regiment in the middle of the war allows the conclusion that the regiment was weakened to such an extent that the remaining personnel were, for the sake of simplicity, reassigned to another unit instead of filling up two regiments now. Such a process was not uncommon at the time.

Motto

Pungit aggredrentes
(I sting when touched)
