En el marc de la formació de nous cossos de les Guàrdies Reials, Felip V, a iniciativa del seu ministre José Patiño, va crear el 1731 la Companyia de Granaders Reials a Cavall, unitat que romandria activa fins a la reforma militar d’Ensenada de l’any 1749. Concebuda com a unitat d’èlit de l’exèrcit, va beneficiar-se de molts privilegis en relació amb els demés cossos de l’exèrcit, i, des de la seva formació, la seva oficialitat va estar integrada per membres de la noblesa catalana que s’havia declarat obertament proborbònica durant els primers anys de la Guerra de Successió. Units entre ells per les particulars relacions familiars i de patronatge exercides durant la formació de la companyia pel seu primer capità-tinent, Bernardino Marimón, els oficials que van formar part d’aquesta companyia van dur a terme una estratègia de clar ascens polític i social al llarg del segle.
In the process of forming new corps of the Royal Guards, at the initiative of his minister José Patiño, Philip V created in 1731 the Horseback Company of Royal Grenadiers, that would remain active until the Ensenada military reform of 1749. Conceived as an elit unit, it enjoyed numerous privileges in relation to all the other corps and, from the onset, its officers were members of the Catalan nobility which had openly declared itself in favour of the Bourbon cause during the first years of the War of Spanish Succession. Bound among them by the peculiar family relations and patronage practices established at the creation of the company by its first lieutenant-captain, Bernardino Marimón, its officers developed a clear strategy of political and social promotion throughout the century.
