WThe Armée des émigrés were counter-revolutionary armies raised outside France by and out of royalist émigrés, with the aim of overthrowing the French Revolution, reconquering France and restoring the monarchy. These were aided by royalist armies within France itself, such as the Chouans, and by allied countries such as Great Britain. They fought, for example, at the sieges of Lyon and Toulon.
WThe Army of Condé was a French field army during the French Revolutionary Wars. One of several émigré field armies, it was the only one to survive the War of the First Coalition; others had been formed by the Comte d'Artois and Mirabeau-Tonneau. The émigré armies were formed by aristocrats and nobles who had fled from the violence in France after the August Decrees. The army was commanded by Louis Joseph de Bourbon, Prince de Condé, the cousin of Louis XVI of France. Among its members were Condé's grandson, the Duc d'Enghien and the two sons of Louis XVI's younger brother, the Comte d'Artois, and so the army was sometimes also called the Princes' Army.
WThe Chouan Army of Rennes and Fougères was a French counter-revolutionary army established in 1795 by Joseph de Puisaye, who passed on its command to Aimé Picquet du Boisguy, head of the Chouans in the area from 1793 onwards. It merged the Royalist divisions from Ille-et-Vilaine and some from Côtes d'Armor. His influence also extended to some areas of Mayenne in Maine, and Manche in Normandy. After 1796 its influence declined and, from 1799, it was limited to Ille-et-Vilaine alone.
WThe Hompesch Hussars was a German light cavalry regiment of the French Armée des Émigrés raised by the Baron von Hompesch. The regiment was raised in 1794 following an expansion of the British foreign corps and would be disbanded following an unsuccessful deployment to Haiti. The regiment was raised from elements of the regiment still based on the Isle of Wight and would serve until the end of the War of the Second Coalition in 1802.
WThe Légion de Conflans later the Régiment de Saxe Hussards was a German-French legion formed during the War of the Austrian Succession. The legion would later serve in the Seven Years' War, but like the other French legions, legion was split and became a hussar regiment. However, following the beginning of the French Revolution, the regiment emigrated en masse and was disbanded shortly thereafter.
WThe Régiment Royal Louis was a line infantry regiment of the Armée des Émigrés, the counter-revolutionary forces loyal to King of France Louis XVI. Though the regiment only existed for just over a year, it was held in high regard by their British counterparts and saw action in two major theaters of the war.
WRoll's Regiment was a regiment of the British Army formed of Swiss, French and German soldiers raised in 1794 for service in the French Revolutionary Wars. The regiment's colonel was Louis de Roll, a former officer of the pre-revolutionary French Swiss Guards. The unit served in various garrisons in the Mediterranean and saw action in Tuscany before being reduced to a single battalion. The regiment was dispatched to Egypt in 1800 to oppose the French occupation and distinguished itself in action at the Battle of Alexandria. The regiment received drafts of French and Polish prisoners of war to replace its losses and in 1810 participated in the British invasion of the Septinsular Republic. The regiment served in Sicily as guard to Ferdinand IV of Naples before joining the Peninsular War. It saw action at the capture of Fort St Felipe and the 1813 Siege of Tarragona. The regiment disbanded at Corfu in 1815 following the end of the Napoleonic Wars.
