; Cravat : In the French army under Louis XIII, in the period from 1664 to 1789, there was a cavalry consisting entirely of Croats called "Royal Cravate", from the Croatian "Hrvat" meaning 'Croat'. These soldiers' uniforms included a neck cloth, called "la cravate" by the French. From French this word entered into many other European languages, including English ("cravat"), often referring to neckties of various types, although in English it refers specifically to a very wide style of necktie.
