==Steenkirk cravat== An article of dress was named after the battle. A ''steenkirk'' (also Steinquerque or Stinquerque in the mémoirs of [[François-Timoléon de Choisy|Abbé de Choisy]]) was a lace [[Cravat (early)|cravat]] loosely or negligently worn, with long lace ends. According to [[Voltaire]]'s ''L'Âge de Louis XIV'', it was in fashion after the Battle of Steenkerque, where the French gentlemen had to fight with disarranged cravats on account of the surprise sprung by the Allies. The Steenkirk cravat was a popular article in both men's and women's fashion in France for years later. It spread from France to England, where it also was worn by both women and men.<ref>Palliser, pg. 167</ref>
