The text describes the Musketeers of the Guard, founded in 1622 by Louis XIII. They were a light cavalry unit armed with muskets, fighting on foot and horseback. They served as the royal guard outside royal residences, distinct from the Garde du corps and Gardes suisses within. Their uniform included a tabard or "soubreveste," signifying their allegiance to the King. An embroidered white cross indicated their formation during the Huguenot rebellions, supporting the Catholic cause.
