The remnants of the Elector of Bavaria's and Marshal Marsin's wing limp back to Strasbourg, losing another seven thousand men through desertion.

The Elector, despite being offered the chance to remain as ruler of Bavaria (under strict terms of an alliance with Austria), leaves his country and family in order to continue the war against the Allies from the Spanish Netherlands where he still holds the post of governor-general.

Their commander-in-chief at Blenheim, Marshal Tallard—who, unlike his subordinates, has not been ransomed or exchanged, is taken to England and will be housed on parole in Nottingham until his release in 1711. (The writer Daniel Defoe will report that his “small, but beautiful parterre, after the French fashion was one of the beauties of Nottingham”.)
