The original provincial regiments (
landskapsregementen) were raised by splitting the old grand regiments, forming 20 infantry (actually 21 as
Smålands regemente was split into
Kronobergs and
Jönköpings regemente) and eight cavalry regiments as written in the Swedish
constitution of 1634. As time went on, new regiments were raised by conscription, created by splitting old regiments or enlisting soldiers from various
dominions of Sweden. There were also times when temporary regiments were raised; these regiments were called
männingsregementen.
