The Battle of Ramillies appears not as a narrated combat scene but as the expected continuation of England’s military successes. In the account of Queen Anne’s reign, it marks the next step in a campaign whose momentum the text associates with the earlier victory at Hochstadt.

Place in the Military Sequence

The passage locates the period between Hochstadt and the Battle of Ramillies, describing the first victory as foretelling the second. Ramillies is therefore presented as anticipated rather than recounted: the emphasis falls on the sense that one success has prepared or presaged another.

Representation and Significance

The reference belongs to a broader portrait of England’s growing military reach under Queen Anne. The account lists forces deployed in Catalonia, Portugal, and Flanders, alongside England’s expanding fleet and recent annexation of Scotland; within that survey, the Battle of Ramillies helps convey a succession of national achievements. The text supplies no account of the battle’s location, participants, tactics, or immediate outcome beyond identifying it as the victory expected after Hochstadt, so its significance here is chiefly contextual and anticipatory.
