French Royal Deux-Ponts Standing Defending

The Royal Deux-Ponts Regiment was raised by the Duke of Deux-Ponts, Christian IV, Count Palatine of Birkenfeld, under a treaty made in 1751 between Louis XV and Christian IV of Deux-Ponts. In this treaty the Duke committed to provide, in the event of war, a contingent of 1,000 men to France. The Royal Deux-Ponts Regiment left Brest on 4 April 1780 as part of a contingent of four regiments sent by France under the orders of Rochambeau to provide support to the American forces during their war for independence from England. The regiment distinguished itself at Yorktown, Virginia in October 1781. After hostilities ended, it returned to France in July 1783.
