Battle of Ramillies on 23 May 1706, between the Allied forces under command of Marlborough and Nassau-Ouwerkerk against the united French, Spanish and Bavarian troops under command of Marshal de Villeroy. On the left some tall trees, on the right on the third plan the ridge, on which Folx-les-Caves and Jandreouille lie and in the future in the middle the plateau of Mont St. André. In the foreground a rider fight, which took place on the left flank of the allied army against the right flank of Villeroy. Right in the corner a staff with supposed portrait of Marlborough on a black horse. The rider on the back may have been Major General Murray. He who looks more like a citizen might be Sicco Goslinga, the deputy to the Allied Army of the States General. To the left of the center, right behind the great horseman's fight, Allied cavalry and charge against the infantrymen of the two crowns, waiting for them with fallen peaks. The Allies' main force, under the command of Lord Orteney, the center of the French-Spanish-Beirish lines, is attacking under Villeroy and Elector Maximilian Emanuel van Beiren, who were set up in Ramillies and further north, near Offus and Autreglise (Anderkerk).
