This two battalion regiment
had no grenadiers, which was rather unusual. But like other units it
was made up from 'recruits' (forced recruits, I would imagine) from
many places. This is from Kronoskaf:
A muster role of 1757 counts
18 fusilier companies and no grenadiers. These companies included
troops from the following contingents:
- the Bishopric of Fulda (4 fusilier coys)
- the Bishopric of Speyer (3.5 fusilier coys)
- the Principality of Waldeck (2 fusilier coys)
- the Counties of Ysenburg-Büdingen and Ysenburg-Waechtersbach (1 fusilier coy)
- the Principality of Ysenburg-Birstein-Offenbach (1 fusilier coy)
- the Electorate of Mainz for the County of Königstein (1 fusilier coy)
- the two Counts von Stolberg for the County of Königstein, the Imperial City of Friedberg and the Imperial City of Wetzlar (1 fusilier coy)
- the Margraviate of Baden-Baden for the County of Sponhein (1 fusilier coy)
- the Imperial City of Speyer and the Principalities of Dagstuhl and Bretzenheim (1 fusilier coy)
- the Counties of Alt-Leiningen (Haus Runckel), Wittgenstein-Berleburg, and Wittgenstein-Wittgenstein, including the latter's contribution for the County of Homburg (1 fusilier coy)
Overall, the regiment
included 33 distinct contingents.
But the flags are great! I
am coming to the view that I should do some of these in 40mm to add
them to my Austrians.
Wonderful job as always, love this uniform!
ReplyDeleteA great looking unit. Worth having in one's army for the flags alone!
