Children of Heigard

The March of the Voltigeurs is the official national anthem of Heigard. It was written by François Monroyg in 1849 as a poem to raise the morale of the Heigardian soldiers during the Liberty Campaign.

Queen Mary III liked so much the song, she created the National Anthem Contest to replace the old militar song, "Le rouge, blanc et bleu drapeau".

François Monroyg entered the contest with his poem, along his friend Charles La Dame, who composed the music. The song won with a high 52% of the total votes.
