Under the direction of Hughes de Bazouges

According to Fouché himself, the emigration involved approximately 150,000 individuals (when France had a population of 20 million), of whom around 20,000 bore arms, from 1791 to 1815, for their God and their King.

From the royalist armies raised in 1791–1792 to individual foreign service sometimes extended until 1815, this commitment took many forms, particularly within legions or émigré corps that were also German, Swiss, and even Liégeois.

We invite you to discover some of them here: Légion de Mirabeau in the Armée de Condé, white-cockade regiments in English service, Hussars de Damas in Dutch service, Hulans of the British Legion of Saint-Domingue, and the Swiss Legion de Managhetta...
