2. Livgrenadjärregementet

The regiment traces its heritage to the cavaleryunits raised in the 1500:s in Östergötland. It later became Östgöta cavalery regiment. The first commander was Hans Rothkirch. In 1791 the regiment became an infantryregiment with the name the Lifegrenadierregiment. The honorary name was granted due to good performance in the war 1788 - 1790. In 1816 the regiment was split into the I. Lifegrenadierregiment and the II. Lifegrenadierregiment. The regiment was located in Linköping. In 1925 the regiment was re-merged with the I.
