In the course of the seven years war was the so-called German part of the imperial cavalry extended the light of the rider similar to the Hungarian husarům. So came švališéři. They were armed with palašem, carbines and pistols. The saddle and the harness used the same as the hussars. With the formation of the first regiment began in 1758, when it was in the context of dragounského regiment Löwensteinova established the first twelve hundred men each. In 1759, these companies removed from the state of the common regiment, and on their basis there was for the establishment of a švališérského regiment Löwensteinova.
At the beginning of the year 1760 was five dragounských regiments changed to regiments švališérské. The so now has a total of six. This situation changed already in December of the same year, when the regiments of Sachsen-Gothův and Württembergům transformed again to dragounské. In 1763 had undergone the same process and regiments Zweibrückenův and Modenův younger. When in 1765 to the dragoons, came back, and the regiment of St. Ignonův, there was only one švališérský regiment. In the same year was but dragounský regiment emperor reorganized the regiment švališérský. So now there were two regiments of this kind of cavalry. In the seventies, again occurred to rozhojnění number of švališérů. As the first in this wave in 1773 on the švališérské changed dragounské regiments no 19 and no 13. Two years later, it is followed dragounský regiment no. 7, and in 1779 dragounský regiment no 37. Now, therefore, be švališérských regiments again six. In 1791, then was added another one, when he was on the švališérský changed the existing dragounský regiment no 31.
However, švališéři was found only in these seven regiments. In both karabinýrských regiments existed švališérský divizion. In 1789 he was for the war against the Turks established švališérský divizion even in dragounských regiments. These diviziony were cancelled in the year 1791. In 1785 they were contrary to the state of the three švališérských regiments divided three diviziony galician hulánského corps. In 1786 forward each of these three regiments, one hulánskou eskadronu one of the three remaining švališérských regiments. All six of the regiments then newly recruited other hulánskou eskadronu, and all six švališérských regiments now in the assembly hulánský divizion. Švališérští huláni should be in the arsenal of a light saber, riding the spear and gun. These hulánské diviziony were in 1791 of švališérských regiments assigned to them subsequently was created hulánský regiment no. 1.
In the framework of the reorganization of the cavalry were švališérské regiments in 1798 renamed to light dragounské regiments. In 1802 it was on the basis of reskriptu from the previous year of the five originally švališérských and now dragounských regiments changed again to the regiments švališérské. He added his sixth švališérský regiment established from a relatively new dragounského regiment. Even now švališéři formed a part of the light cavalry. Regiments consisted of four divizionů. After the subsumption of the Italian provinces was in 1814 established the seventh švališérský regiment. After almost fifty years since its restoration were švališérské regiments on the basis of the supreme decision of the 6. may 1851 changed to regiments hulánské. The exception was švališérský regiment no. 4, which became the regiment dragounský.
