Prinsens Livregiment

Prinsens Livregiment

Prinsens Livregiment (English: "The Prince's Life Regiment") was a Danish Army infantry regiment. It was named for Prince Henrik, the husband of Queen Margrethe II. The motto of the regiment was "Gloria Finis" (Honor above all). In August 2005, the regiment was amalgamated with Jydske Dragonregiment and its Battalions disbanded.

History

Because one of the regiment's antecedents was the life regiment of Queen Ingrid, the Queen Mother, the regiment has both Prince Henrik's and the late Queen Mother's cypher's on its Regimental Colour. The regiment was founded during the reign of King Frederik III in 1657 under the command of Ernst Albrecht von Eberstein. Over the years it has undergone many changes of name, the last taking place in 1961.

The Regiment has participated in the wars, Northern Wars (1657-1660), Scanian War (1675-1679), Great Northern War (1709-1720), First Schleswig War (1848-1850) and Second Schleswig War (1864). It was furthermore in foreign war service during 1689-1697 and 1701-1714. The regiment banner has engraved Nyborg 1659, Wismar 1675, Rygen 1715, Treldeskansen 1849, Dybbøl 1849 and Dybbøl 1864.

The regiment was re-formed in 2000 through the amalgamation of the original Prince's Life Regiment with two other regiments: Slesvigske Fodregiment and Dronningens Livregiment.
