The siege of Ostend took place during the War of the Spanish Succession. In the wake of the Allied victory over the French at the Battle of Ramillies in May 1706, town and cities across the Spanish Netherlands rapidly surrendered to the Duke of Marlborough's victorious forces often without a fight. Ostend, a port on the North Sea coast, offered more resistance.

  • El sitio de Ostende tuvo lugar durante la Guerra de Sucesión española. Tras la victoria aliada sobre los franceses en la batalla de Ramillies en mayo de 1706, los pueblos y ciudades de los Países Bajos españoles se rindieron rápidamente a las fuerzas victoriosas del duque de Marlborough, a menudo sin luchar. Ostende, un puerto en la costa del Mar del Norte, ofreció más resistencia. Decidido a no "dar un respiro al enemigo", Marlborough destinó fuerzas holandesas y británicas al mando de y el para enfrentarse a él. Mientras tanto, estableció su ejército principal en Roeselare como fuerza de cobertura para proteger las operaciones de asedio del ejército francés que se había reagrupado en Cortrique, al sur. ​ El apoyo naval para los sitiadores provino de un escuadrón de la Royal Navy al mando de Sir . Fairborne usó bombardas para disparar contra la ciudad y prenderle fuego. Después de un asedio de tres semanas, Ostende capituló. A raíz de la caída de Ostende, a Marlborough se le ofreció el puesto de gobernador general de los Países Bajos españoles, pero se vio obligado a rechazarlo por temor a ofender a sus aliados holandeses. ​ (es)

  • The siege of Ostend took place during the War of the Spanish Succession. In the wake of the Allied victory over the French at the Battle of Ramillies in May 1706, town and cities across the Spanish Netherlands rapidly surrendered to the Duke of Marlborough's victorious forces often without a fight. Ostend, a port on the North Sea coast, offered more resistance. Determined not to "give the enemy any breathing space", Marlborough detached Dutch and British forces under Henry de Nassau, Lord Overkirk and Duke of Argyle to deal with it. Meanwhile he established his main army at Roeselare as a covering force to protect the siege operations from the French army which had regrouped at Courtrai to the south. Naval support for the besiegers came from a Royal Navy squadron under Sir Stafford Fairborne. Fairborne used bomb ketches to fire on the town, setting it alight. After a three week siege Ostend capitulated. In the wake of Ostend's fall, Marlborough was offered the Governor Generalship of the Spanish Netherlands but was forced to decline it for fear of offending his Dutch allies. (en)
