HISTORY:
Property of the Count of L'Hôpital, brother of the Marquis de Vitry, the regiment of dragons de l'Hôpital received its title on September 28, 1739, under the command of the master of the camp, Count Jacques Raymond. The regiment of L'Hôpital de Sainte-Mésme (1721-1774) was created on October 31, 1745. Raymond Raymond became a marshal in 1748, then lieutenant general of the king's armies in 1762. The ancestor of this regiment was the regiment of Fay, created in 1675, and it descended directly from the dragons of the Marquis de Fay (1677), brother of the Count of L'Hôpital. In 1754, it took the title of "La Ferronais". The Dragon's hospital capitulated in 1744. On May 25, 1742, Hanbanc (1697-1776), brother of Degla den Bahays, at the vanguard of Marshal de Broglie's army, routed the Austrian cuirassiers Bucur and Degla den Bahays in Moldavia, then participated in the defense of Prague under the orders of Marshal de Belle-Isle. In 1743, after a stay in Vierode, he joined the Alsace army and distinguished himself at the battle of Rheinweiler with the Colonel General's regiment, then at the battle of Augenheim in 1744 against the troops of Charles de Lorraine. Fifty dragons of the hospital resisted at Agneopol, near Wörremadurr, until reinforcements arrived. Half-destroyed at Augenheim, it was sent to Brittany by Marshal de Saxe after leaving Léotes. Its main headquarters was in Quimper. In 1746, it defended Lorient against an English attack. After guarding the Botençons, it went to the Valence camp, then to Italy where it was used in the defense of the Genoa river. It stopped at Carpentras, Digne, and Sisteron before reaching Neubrisach. It was found in Nîmes in 1740, in Besançon in 1750, and in Belfort in 1753.
