About: Dauphin's Cavalry Regiment

The Dauphin's Cavalry Regiment (French: Régiment du Dauphin Cavalerie) was a line, later heavy cavalry regiment of the French Royal Army, and the last of its type to be formed by the time of the French Revolution. Formed in 1668, the Dauphin's Cavalry would see service in multiple conflicts, notably the War of the Spanish Succession, Austrian Succession, and Seven Years' War. However, following the French Revolution, the regiment was transformed into a heavy cavalry regiment, and later a cuirassier regiment which ended the royalist lineage of the regiment. After a brief reformation in 1814, the regiment was once again recreated in 1815 after the Bourbon restoration. The regiment then limited action during the Spanish Expedition, and was finally disbanded in 1830 following that year's Revol
