Cavalry Units

King's Musketeers (France)

Special elite detachments were created for the personal protection of the King of France. One of these detachments comprised 2 companies of King's Musketeers. These were noblemen only, professional fighters trained in soldiering from childhood. These musketeers excelled at fencing, accurate shooting and riding. Their arms and tactics were much like those of dragoons, but King's Musketeers were better equipped - with expensive wheel lock muskets and the best cuirasses available. They were also armed with several pairs of pistols and a sword. The life of these detachments is described in great detail in novels by Dumas.
