'''Gryff's Hussars''' were one of the first Capellan Hussars regiments to be formed. They were created by merging three units from the [[St. Ives Commonality]], the [[St. Ives Mounted Guard]], the [[Knights of Glamorgan]], and the [[Royalston Cavaliers]]. In 2765 they were one of the longest-serving units in the [[CCAF]] and were based on [[St. Ives]]. They were the second lightest unit in the Capellan Hussars.<ref name="FR:CCAF2765p7">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 7: "Capellan Hussars"</ref>

Early in the Second Succession War Gryff's Hussars inflicted heavy losses on elements of the [[2nd Avalon Hussars]].<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 118</ref> In [[2863]] the Hussars defended St. Ives from a daring attack by the [[4th Syrtis Fusiliers]] and [[Bloody Sons]], taking heavy losses.<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 39</ref> This fighting cost Gryff's Hussars approximately 38% of their strength, reducing them to 42% of their nominal strength.<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 95</ref>
