Prussia also had Polish territories and thus influences. They acknowledged that they found them great so they emulated them. In particular in the Napoleonic wars the Poles fought in great numbers alongside the French as they were promised that the partitioning of Poland would be reversed (and Napoleon actually did so) so using that name was a honorific thing to do by the French. The Polish winged Hussars - thus the name Hussar already borrowed from someone else - had ceased to exist as such for a century or more but the Poles were still renowned horsemen so this name was adopted. The name originates from such units in Hungary as early as 15th century. What makes me wonder about the Hussars are, well, they were polish winged cavalry, were they not? I know the french had some cavalry which they used to call Hussars as well, but was mostly a bloody false name, rather than real Hussars.The name Hussar was adopted by other European armies to describe a particular style of light cavalry which in purpose and dress emulated Eastern European cavalry.

Anyhow, you are probably right mate, my knowledge on history is mostly on Medieval Period and a bit of Antiquity, I know close to nothing of Napoleonic period and later, I simply dislike that, it was the beginning of the downfall of human history. I guess you didnt even "bother about searching cultural and historic sources" before posting those posts.Well, why would it be called Del Rei, odd. I guess you didnt even "bother about searching cultural and historic sources" before posting those posts.įunny thing, im brazilian, and it IS São João del Rei, actually, i live quite near it, by your reasoning since im brazilian i "would know it".Īnd since your portuguese, here is some info on brazilian-portuguese Hussars Os Voluntários Reais do Comércio a Cavalo estavam equipados e fardados como Hussardos, no entanto nunca foram designados oficialmente como tal.Īnd, like i said, its a sandbox game, in my brazilian campaign i didnt built any hussars, only normal cavarly, and colonized half of africa and took all of south america but argentina, colombia and chile, that isnt historically correct, just like it isnt historically correct to invade mummy returns egypt with britons in 200 b.c in Rome total war. Um regimento português que se pode considerar de Hussardos era o dos Voluntários Reais do Comércio a Cavalo, unidade de elite das milícias formada em 1808. Esse era o caso das companhias de cavalaria da Legião de Tropas Ligeiras ou de algumas companhias de cavalaria auxiliar do Brasil. No entanto, era comum no final do século XVIII e princípios do XIX chamar Hussardos a algumas das suas unidades de cavalaria ligeira. O Exército Português nunca teve regimentos oficialmente denominados de Hussardos.
