The Armée des Émigrés (English: ''Army of the Émigrés''), were counter-revolutionary armies raised outside of France by and out of Royalist Émigrés, with the aim of overthrowing the French Revolution, reconquering France and restoring the monarchy. These were aided by royalist armies within France itself, such as the Chouans, and by allied countries such as Great Britain. They fought, for example, at the sieges of Lyon and Toulon. They were formed from: *noblemen volunteers, either descendants of the ancient royal family or not, who had fled France *troops raised by these nobles through subsidies from other European monarchies, or through their own means *units of the French army which had also emigrated, such as the 4th Hussar Regiment Even Napoleon I said of them "True, they are paid by our enemies, but they were or should have been bound to the cause of their King. France gave death to their action, and tears to their courage. All devotion is heroic". ==Main units== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Armée des Émigrés」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
