I am seeking information on whether Habsburg Austria had "guard" units in the late 17th century, and if so what uniforms they had. I have looked at the Xenophon website which has many Austrian uniforms. But I have not encountered any designated "guard units". Were there any? There obviously were in France, England, the Netherlands and Bavaria.

by Friedrich August I.
Some smaller detachments existed as Palace Guard Units before 1790, until the Reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I. when they were formed into one Body of Trabantengarde. No Field Duty.
