Flags carried by French Swiss Infantry Regiment Stuppa possibly 1672-1701 and Brendlé 1701-1738

First raised 17th February 1672 by Pierre Stuppa. A Swiss regiment, one of four permanent Swiss regiments in the French army after the Swiss Guards; Stuppa was a captain in the Swiss Guards and given the task by the king, Louis XIV, of raising the units. Originally 12 companies each of 200 men. Regiment Stuppa was raised in the cantons of Solothurn, Aargau, Fribourg and Grisons/Graubünden. Became Brendlé in 1701, Séedorf in 1738, Boccard in 1752 and Salis-Samade in 1782.

These flags were carried at least 1701-1738 but probably earlier too.
