As part of the "French Infantry Regiments nobbled or knocked about at Blenheim 1704" theme here are the flags of French Infantry Regiments Lesparre 1695-8 then raised as Lassay 1702; De la Mothe d'Hugues 1710-1714.
1695 Lesparre, L de Madaillan de (later Marquis de Lassay)
1698 Disbanded
1702 Raised as Lesparre, L de Madaillan de, Marquis de Lassay
1710 Marquis de la Mothe d'Hugues

The account in Hall suggests that the flags as shown were carried by both regiments but I have seen no definitive evidence of that.
