The Armée Royale des Loyalistes or Armée des Braves is an armed force supporting the Lysian crown during the Louvian Revolutionary War. From 1758, the date of the start of the war, the loyalist army had around 15,000 members ready to fight for Lysia and against the separatists. They fought, for example, at the Battle of Baie Blanche and at the Battle of Dieufou.
During or after the war, captured loyalist soldiers were often shot for treason, mock trials were even held at Saint-Philippe in January 1761 and 95 former loyalists were put to death. Even King Antoine I said of them “Louvier gave death to their action, and tears to their courage. All dedication is heroic”. In 1807, Antoine III decrees a general amnesty for all former Loyalists still alive and pardons those who died during the war.
A memorial to all loyalist soldiers killed during the war was erected in 1861 in downtown Saint-Philippe.
