Raising of the new dragoon regiments in 1701-02 (набор Золотой Палаты 1700-01)

After Campaign of 1700 Peter I decided to convert existing Reitar cavalry (gentry obliged to keep military service in return for land property & salary) into new Dragoon cavalry (personal obligation without any link with land fiefs). In December 1700 he announced revision of the gentry in 88 towns (regions) excluding Moscow, Novgorod, Pskov, Smolensk, Southern & Siberian towns. The Revision was done by department/ministry called “Zolotaya Palata” (Золотая Палата = Chamber of Gold). It was responsible for accounting of the state incomes. After it the raising of the new Dragoon regiments in 1701 also called “Nabor Zolotoy Palaty” (Набор Золотой Палаты = Chamber of Gold’s Recruitment). The Revision of 1700-01 gave 27 245 men, incl. 644 unfit for military service. They were divided into 2 ratings. 11 147 men were called on service right away in spring 1701. The rest stayed at homes but were obliged to join service at first call. In 1701-02 in Moscow were created 12 new Dragoon units:
