Le Régiment de Monsieur:
Monsieur, Philippe Ier d'Orléans (1640-1701), brother of Louis XIV (1638-1715)
Historical context:In the french monarchy the brother of the king was called Monsieur, that since Gaston d'Orléans brother of Louis XIII. At that time it was common that regiments were property of one people, being the honorific colonel of these régiments. As the brother of the king, Monsieur evidently had prestigious régiments under his command.
The first to be called regiment de Monsieur was the Régiment des Carabiniers de Monsieur. This regiment got created the 5th February 1693, being originally called the Royal Carabiniers. Carabiniers were the elite of the french cavalry and were as theyr name tell it they were armed with a carbine. They too had a heavy sword, called a latte, and two pistols. In 1758 the regiment was property of the Comte de Provence and in 1774 finally given to Monsieur and taking the name of Régiment des Carabiniers de Monsieur. In 1788 this regiment is divided in 2 parts: the 1er Régiment de Carabiniers and the 2ème Régiment de Carabiniers. At that time 1260 cavaliers fight under these names. This structure has been kept during all the napoleonic period. In 1815 one of the regiments is disbanded. Then the 2nd is recreated in 1825. In 1867 the two regiments are melted. They fought bravely in the 1870-71 war against the prussians and the regiment got diband in 1871. This regiment was composed of the elite of the french cavalry and as so fought bravely on many battles: Fontenoy, Austerlitz, Iéna, Eylau, Friedland, Eckmühl, Essling, Wagram, La Moskowa, Dresde, Leipzig, Montmirail, Waterloo, ...
An other regiment fought under Monsieur's name: The Régiment d'infanterie de Monsieur. This regiment was created on the 4th of December 1674 as Régiment de Grignan (but under Monsieur's honorifici command) . Then changed of name on multiple occasions to finally become the Régiment de Monsieur (2nd of May 1774). The name changed one last time during the revolution to become the 75ème Régiment d'infanterie de ligne. It has been finally disbanded in 1984. It was a normal line infantry regiment so armed with an infantry musket. This regiment fought in many battles: Arcole, Rivoli, Montenotte, Millesimo, Lodi, the pyramids, Aboukir, Ulm, Austerlitz, Iéna, Eylau, Dresde and many others.
A last regiment got the honor to be part of the Régiments de Monsieur, the Régiment des Dragons de Monsieur wich we won't evoque as we won't play it.
Us, players of 2014:Our intention with this regiment is to play on North American linebattles but with an European recruitment basis. The intention is to prove these NA players that we can rape them even with a 160 ping! We rely mostly on invited people, geeks from all regiments who are still awake at 1 AM GMT and wants to play. However we have some players who want to get more implicated in it and these are permanent players of the Régiment de Monsieur. Officers and NCOs are of course permanent members. We play under 3 tags: RdM (yeah i know it looks like random) standing for Régiment de Monsieur, is the tag beared by our colonel, de Montigny; RCdM standing for Régiment de Carabiniers de Monsieur, is the tag of our Cavalry and RIdM is the tag of our infantry. Here none of these revolutionary ideas, we fight for the King of France, ruler of France by God's will! In his name we'll get back prestige, honor and glory of the monarchy. Vive Dieu, Vive le Roy, Vive la France!
So it's 1 AM GMT you are not sleeping and you want to play in a linebattle while having lags and freeze? Come on our teamspeak (5.9.87.133:9974) and you will be warmly welcomed!
