Historical description

French Carabiniers were established at the beginning of the 18th century, but gained their greatest fame during the Napoleonic Wars (circa 1800–1815). They fought in the most important battles of the era, including Austerlitz, Borodino, and Waterloo, where their heavy armor and excellent training struck fear into enemy cavalry and infantry. The Carabiniers were distinguished by armor and helmets inspired by antiquity and were also highly skilled in mounted combat with both melee and firearms. They formed the elite of Emperor Napoleon’s army.
