The king in french revolution also had swiss mercenaries to defend his palace
Fun fact: the national day of France is the day of the Bastille, the day the revolution took over the Bastille prison. The prison was manned by mercenaries. Mercenaries lost 2 soldiers (they surrendered after running out of ammo/supplies), Revolutionaries lost 300+ lol.
