The Drabant Corps of Charles XII (Swedish: Karl XII:s Drabantkår) was the most prestigious unit in the Swedish Army during the time of the Great Northern War. As a result of the reforms of 1700, all personnel in the corps received an officer's rank with increased wages, while its size was eventually set at 168 men. Those serving as Drabants were almost exclusively recruited from the Swedish Empire, with most coming from Sweden. The corps was issued the finest weapons, horses, and clothing was often adorned with gold lacing. They fought according to the cavalry regulations of the Caroleans, emphasizing the cold-steel charge in slight wedge formations, knee behind knee, over the more common caracole. This strategy allowed them to function as a bodyguard for the king as well as an elite comba

rdfs:comment
  • Kunglig Majestäts drabanter var en militärenhet som särskilt ansvarade för den svenske kungens personliga skydd som verkade i varierande form åren 1523–1821. Drabanterna organiserades av Gustav Vasa i en drabantkår och som även har använts som ett stridande kavalleriförband. Därefter har drabanter funnits i begränsad utsträckning enbart som en ceremoniell trupp och gör så fortfarande. Det nuvarande Livgardet härleder sitt ursprung i den kungliga drabantkåren. (sv)

  • Drabanci Karola XII – oddział przyboczny króla Szwecji Karola XII, istniejący w latach 1699-1709, złożony z konnych drabantów. Jako straż pałacowa drabanci obecni byli na dworze królów szwedzkich od XV wieku. Karol XII po objęciu władzy przeorganizował tych gwardzistów, którzy odtąd stali się elitarnym oddziałem kawalerii.
