- The Drabant guard acts as Royal ceremonial guards on ceremonial occasions, such as state visits. They maintain a state ceremonial tradition while working as security guards outside the historic guest rooms at the Royal Palace. And the rules of their uniforms goes way back. They originate from Karl XI and XII Karl's time! The jackets are made out of moose hide, they are original and is treated with extreme care.

if you listen closely you can hear them coming
I admire Sweden and their Royal household as well. Beautiful country, nice people and interesting history.
Hartmut Writh That's straight sarcasm right ???
There seem to be an assumption that the Drabant Guard does this daily. They only march and stand guard during special occasions, maybe a coule of times a year.
Wonderful, simply wonderful. I love the military. Not many outside organizations could pull that off. Their feet have got to hurt at the end of the day. Thank you for posting.
It is good that the Swedes have kept some of their history.

Traditionen med Karl XI's livdrabanter under riksdagens högtidliga öppnande härrör först från Karl XV's tid under andra halvan av 1800talet.
Men det är likväl en härligt mäktig upplevelse.

Tänk om man kunde få delta en endaste gång , Detta är något jag skulle vilja bocka av i detta jordeliv.
This is cool!
Americans commenting on their military's lack of proper marching style:
REEEEEEEEEEHH, IT'S BECAUSE MARCHING IN STEP IS USED BY DICTATORSHIPS. wAAAHHHH!
Me: Watches a video of a marching in step military of a country that ranks higher than the US in the Freedom index.
Wonderful
Min förfädrer var med i Drabant kåren och han tjänstgjorde för ingen mindre än Karl XII vid Poltava.
Mina också :)
+Rob T Riktigt coolt är det! =D Det kanske är samma person han, var Polsk i alla fall hans pappa. Jag vill gärna vissa dig, så här står det om min förfäder.
Volontär vid Livgardet 1693, förare där 28/6 1695, avsked 4/3 1699, volontär vid Grand
Mousquelairs garde du Corps i polsk tjänst 1699, men lämnade tjänsten vid krigsutbrottet.
Löjtnant vid Smålands tremän. infanteriregemente 13/8 1700, volontär vid livdrabantkåren.
Följde med Karl XII till Bender (Moldavien), permitterades 1/6 1715 från Stralsund till Sverige. Död troligast
1729 på Gotland och den 21/8 samma år begraven i Vestkinde kyrka. Enligt Örnberg (som
dessvärre inte alltid är pålitlig) fången vid Poltava 1709, återkommen från fångenskap i Sibirien
1722, död 1740. Enligt Ekselius (som stödjer sig på domstolsakter, se bl. a. nedan) återkommen
från Bender i Turkiet 1715.
Octodaddy Var polsk? Karl XII accepterade bara etniska svenskar till att vara hans elit vakter.
För konung och fosterland Han var född i Sverige till en polsk pappa men Svensk mamma.
Octodaddy Och hur vet du detta? Blir lite svårt att tro då Polen var Sveriges fiende under Karl XII regering.
Inte faan fick man marshera så, när ja gjorde lumpen 1983 i Ka 2..hade önska man fick. GRYMT ..WOOOW.
Since they in heavy cavalry cuirassier uniorm, do they ever parade mounted?
These uniforms are nowadays only used for special occasions like state visits and only on foot sadly. We only parade mounted in the blue uniforms you see the riders use in the video. These are from 1895, hence the name m/1895.
The soldiers that wear the drabant uniform are the same soldiers that do the mounted parades. They are just given that special task in state visits and other notable occasions. I can tell you that the boots are torture, the heels are taller than most women use today. Still, a wonderful thing to have done.
Atamv I still have my police motor officer boots. They are made by a company called Chippewa and while very comfortable on my motor I NEVER enjoyed having to walk in them very far.... These uniforms look very much like seven years war Austrian cuirassier or maybe Prussian cuirassier uniforms. Were the Swedish uniforms influenced by then?
Seth Kimmel, I think it is the carolean army that made an impression on the germans. Prussia did not exist as a major power when the caroleans dominated the battlefields of northen Europe.
Johan Hede'n makes sense...

Bara att beklaga.
Så j-la vackert....
Someday these men will develop knee bursitis.
Surprisingly, dismounted guards...
is there any particular historic reason that they March this way ?
Francis Keough yes, they scared the enemies that could have been more than the drabant guards. Also it was a really powerful march.
Mind that beetle.........ah...too late
well at least they ain't Goose-Stepping....
wish i were Swedish.
iztein At best I can claim Norwegian heritage. And Germn, English, a little French. (I think someone liked to travel). Oh well.

Var är Karl XIIs karoliner ???
Dom kommer att vara på Göteborgs Kulturkalas denna kommande helgen, på riktigt. Karolinerna och Karl XII som vi sett på Sabatons konserter. Dom kommer att ha en tältby i en kulturbevarad del av staden. Jag är bekant med Kungen, som han helst kallar sej, en väldigt intressant kille, han ser ut att vara en reinkarnation av KarlXII själv. :)
Göteborg är ju långt bort, när kommer de till Västerås ?
this is very austrian and german
Swedish military tradition is heavily influenced by Prussia.
