For his efforts he received the formal thanks of the House of Commons, and was given the titles of 1st Earl of Athlone and Baron of Aughrim. Ginkell was succeeded in 1703 by his eldest son the 2nd earl (1668 - 1719), a distinguished soldier in the reigns of William III and Queen Anne.

Engraving. Plate 273 x 171mm. 10¾ x 6¾".
Frontispiece of 'The Effigies of Mr Nieuhoff' as published in Churchill's 'A Collection of Voyages and Travels'. Johann Nieuhoff (fl.1640-1672) was an official of the Dutch East India Company. He wrote of his journeys to Brazil, China and India. The most famous of these was a trip of 2,400 km from Canton to Peking in 1655-1657, which enabled him to become an authoritative Western writer on China. Nieuhoff had an adventurous career in the service of the Dutch East India Company occupying posts in India, on Ceylon and in Batavia until 1670. He then disappeared without trace on Madagascar, after landing from a sloop in order to seek drinking water.

William Frederick George Louis, Prince of Orange and future King Willliam II of the Netherlands (1792 – 1849). He entered the British Army, and in 1811, as aide-de-camp to Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, took part in several campaigns in the Peninsular War. He returned to the Netherlands in 1813 when his father became sovereign prince. In 1815, William became crown prince and he took service in the army when Napoleon escaped from Elba. He fought as commander of the Dutch-Belgian forces at the Battle of Quatre Bras (16 June 1815) as well as at Waterloo. He showed personal courage and energy, but frequently displayed atrocious military judgement, leading to many heavy casualties. The Duke of Wellington attributed this to his lack of command experience, however, rather than to him being a bad leader.

He was a member of the National Assembly (1796 - 1798) and belonged to the moderate unitarians, who were advocates of a central government. He was president of the National Assembly and acting head of state of the Batavian Republic between 17 May 1796 and 30 May 1796 and between 15 May 1797 and 29 May 1797. He was the Batavian (Dutch) ambassador to France between 1798 and 1801 and from 1803 to 1805 and the Batavian ambassador to Great Britain in 1802 and 1803. Napoleon made him the sole ruler of the Batavian Republic with the title of Raadspensionaris ('Grand Pensionary') and he ruled for one year from 1805. He had no employment between 1806 and 1811. The Netherlands became a part of France in 1810 and Schimmelpenninck was a member of the French senate between 1811 and 1813. He was a member of the senate of the Kingdom of the United Netherlands between 1815 and 1820.
