Royal Deux-Ponts Regiment
The Royal Deux-Ponts Regiment (; ) was a Palatinate-Zweibrücken regiment in French service from 1757 to 1791. History
The Royal Deux-Ponts Regiment was raised by Christian Duke of Deux-Ponts, Count Palatine of Birkenfeld under a treaty made in 1751 between Louis XV and Christian IV of Deux-Ponts, by which the Duke undertook to provide in the event of war a contingent of 1,000 men to France. In 1775 it was commanded by Colonel Christian, Count of Forbach, nephew of the Duke of Deux-Ponts and future Marquis de Deux-Ponts. The Marquis was colonel-commandant from March 10, 1788 until January 1, 1791, when it was absorbed into the French Revolutionary Army as the 99th Infantry Regiment. American Revolutionary War
