Första livgrenadjärregementet (1st Life Grenadier Regiment), also I 4, was a Swedish Army infantry regiment located in the province of Östergötland that traced its origins back to the 16th Century. It was merged with another infantry regiment in 1928.
History
The regiment has its origins in fänikor and fanor raised in the 1500s, these units formed Östgöta infanteriregemente and Östgöta kavalleriregemente which merged in 1791 and formed Livgrenadjärregementet. This regiment was split in 1816 creating Första livgrenadjärregementet and Andra livgrenadjärregementet.
The regiment was alloted in 1685. It was given the designation I 4 (4th Infantry Regiment) after a general order in 1816. The regiment was merged with Andra livgrenadjärregementet in 1928 and thus reformed Livgrenadjärregementet.
