Speculative Standards and a Guidon for Huguenot Cavalry and Dragoon Regiments in Ireland 1689-1698

To complete the set of speculative flags for Huguenot regiments raised by William III, I have now created two very speculative versions of a cavalry standard for the Duke of Schomberg's Regiment of Horse of 9 troops, raised July 1689 and disbanded 1697-8, and a guidon for the Marquis de Miremont's Regiment of Dragoons of 6 troops, raised 1st October 1695 (although there is some uncertainty about the actual date, which may have been earlier) and disbanded 1697-8. (I can find no evidence of the dragoon regiment seeing action or service in Ireland.)

I have done two versions of the standard of Schomberg's cavalry regiment; one is more elaborate with a Huguenot motto (which means After Darkness [Comes The] Light) and the escarbuncles in the corner from Schomberg's coat of arms.

The English coat of arms on Schomberg's standards is taken from the infantry flags of a British Protestant (and probably Huguenot) regiment serving with the army of Savoy and which were captured by the French and illustrated in the Triomphes Louis XIV. I have created the two Savoy flags and posted them on the blog here: https://nba-sywtemplates.blogspot.com/2024/03/flags-of-savoy-1693-1704-battalion-flag.html and here: https://nba-sywtemplates.blogspot.com/2024/03/flags-of-savoy-1693-1704-colonels-flag.html

Schjomberg's was 395 strong in June 1690, according to Sapherson. At the Boyne 1st July 1690 they were only 240 strong. After the death of Schomberg at the Boyne the regiment's colonel was Henri de Massue, Marquis de Ruvigny, and then later it was the Earl of Galway. At Aughrim the regiment apparently had 60 killed and 13 wounded, an odd proportion and the opposite of what might be expected.

Sapherson says that Schomberg's wore a light grey uniform with red lace or trim, buff breeches and white hat lace, from what source I know not.
