Flags carried by French Infantry Regiment Bièz later Flamarens 1702-1714 (but possibly also 1695-1699; see text)

First raised 25th July 1702 by Antoine Oudart, Marquis du Bièz de Savignies.

Hall (Flags and Uniforms of the French Infantry Under Louis XIV 1688-1714) connects the regiment with a former regiment of the same name raised 1695 which served in Flanders and was disbanded in 1699, and relates the same flags to them so this sheet could probably be used for the older regiment.

1702 Army of Flanders
1706 Battle of Ramillies
1708 Battle of Oudenarde

1710 Given to N. de Grossoles de Flamarens

1711 To the Alps

The uniform in 1708 was grey/white with red cuffs and stockings and white breeches; lace on cuffs and hatlace was silver and buttons white metal.
