Gendarmerie de France, Laarden, 1688

Description

I thought I'd start with two companies of the Gendarmerie de France - the Gendarmes d'Orleans and the Gendarmes de Berry. The Gendarmerie were the inheritors of the mantle of France's aristocratic noble cavalry of the Hundred Years War and the Italian Wars of the sixteenth century. By 1688, there were sixteen companies of Gendarmes which could be fielded by Louis XIV, comprising an elite cavalry brigade which could either be attached to the Royal Guard, the Maison du Roi, or deployed in their own right.
