Uniforms Of Spanish Units At Talavera
(Spanish Text by José Manuel Rodríguez Gómez, Illustrations by Jose Maria Bueno)Maria Luisa Hussar Regiment
This regiment did not fight at Talavera because it was dissolved in March 1809. However, its soldiers formed the basis for forming Extremadura Hussar Regiments 1 and 2. The uniform of these two units, to my knowledge, followed the lines of its parent unit, blue trousers and pelisse with the same braid and decorations. The jacket can be any other colour than red. Also, it a possisble that headgear other than the Mirliton shown on the figure was worn, perhaps a french style hussar shako. Note the emblem of the sword and quill crossed and the curved sabre.
