Royal French foreign regiments were enlisted abroad for French service during the 17th and 18th centuries. Coming mainly from Switzerland, Germany, Ireland, and Wallonia they gave a significant contribution to the French military effort. Swedish and Polish regiments were counted as German, Scottish as Irish. After the French Revolution the foreign regiments were in 1791 merged with the indigenous French regiments to new, numbered, regiments of the line.
