According to Susane, the Royal Cantabrians were initially raised in 1745 in the Basque country as the Voluntaires Cantabres. They initially had 2 battalions, 300 hussars, and 2 cannon. By 1747 they had the title Royal-cantabre and were reduced t 4 companies in 1749. They were then raised back to a full battalion sometime later.
I hope this helps.
