		In 1713 they were renumbered the 2nd Dragoons, as it was established that only one regiment of English dragoons had existed prior to their creation.

	Solaris7 Unit TRO - 2nd Royal Dragoons RCT (Royal Scots Dragoon Guards) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Dragoons of that time were mounted infantrymen armed with sword and short musket, the word itself being derived from ‘dragon’, an old name for this particular weapon.
		Some authorities have suggested that the name came originally from the grey coats worn during the first few years of the regiment’s existence, but this is not the case since their grey coats were not unique and there is no instance of the name being used until after the known introduction of the grey horses.
		The Scots Greys, with their new Grant tanks, were in reserve but were brought up to the ridge just as the battle had reached its most critical stage and were able to inflict such toll on the enemy armour that the attack foundered.

	Hisotry of the Royal Dragoons
		The 1st Regiment of Dragoons owes its origin to the marriage of Charles II with Catherine of Portugal.
		By the time they returned home in 1684 this title had been modified into "The Royal Regiment of Dragoons," and they abandoned the cuirass and their cavalry duties, to be armed with long muskets and bayonets as true Dragoons.
		For this the Royals are authorised to wear the words "Balaklava" and "Sebastopol" on their standards, which in 1858 were no longer carried by each squadron, one being given the entire regiment.

		This comes about because, when raised, the regiments of Horse which later became Dragoon Guards, were allowed to take precedence over the two already existing regiments of Dragoons, the Royals (now incorporated into the Household Cavalry) and the Scots Greys.
