The victory had a huge resonance in Britain and helped make the Duke of Marlborough famous to this day. Several streets, buildings and even 5 warships over the centuries were called "Ramillies".

In the Netherlands, the battle and Hendrik van Nassau-Ouwerkerk is almost forgotten, which can be called strange. After all, the share of the Dutch in the victory was at least as large as the British. Moreover, with this battle an important war objective - to expel the French from the Spanish Netherlands - was achieved.
