Page "Swiss Guard" Paragraph 26

* From 1748 until 1796, a company of Swiss ( Cent-Suisses ) served as a personal guard for the Stadhouder of the Dutch Republic ; besides a Dutch Guard Regiment, there was also a Swiss Guard Regiment.

William I, the King of the Netherlands, incorporated four regiments of Swiss infantry in the new Dutch Army between 1814 and 1829, of which the 4th ( Regiment Swiss nr.

32 ) served as Guard Infantry, until the Swiss regiments were disbanded and new official Guard Regiments of Grenadiers and Jagers were raised.
