First established as the 8th Hussar Regiment on 23 November 1792, it entered the French Revolutionary Army as the hussards de Lamothe. The unit was promoted to 7th Hussar Regiment on 4 June 1793 following the defection of the 4th Hussar Regiment to the counter revolutionary Armée des Émigrés.

Colonel Marbot, commander of the 7e régiment de hussards
During the first reign of Napoleon the regiment would earn much fame and recognition. It was part of General Antoine Lasalle’s Hellish Brigade alongside the 5th Hussar Regiment, earning much respect for bravery and performance in battle, eventually winning over 5 battle honors, but their rise to prominence was slowed when Lasalle was killed at Wagram in 1809.
In 1814 it was renamed the régiment de hussards d'Orléans and on the Bourbon Restoration it took the name Colonel-général des hussards, briefly reverting to 7th Hussar Regiment during the Hundred Days before being disbanded in November 1815. The 7th Hussars had several notable commanders including Édouard de Colbert-Chabanais, Marcellin Marbot (during the Hundred Days) and Hercule Corbineau. Future cavalry generals Louis Bro (1781–1844) and Antoine Fortuné Brack (1807–1813) also served with the regiment.
The 19th Centuryedit
In 1840 the cavalry unit was re-formed as the 7th Hussar Regiment out of elements of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 12th Mounted Chasseur Regiments and of the 5th Hussar Regiment.
It was finally disbanded in 1928.
