Talk:Battle of Neville's Cross

message: If I can get an accurate list of the casualities, then I'll add a "Battlebox" for this as well. (I'm likely going to use the "no campaign" version, as this battle, while important, doesn't typically appear to be listed as a major battle of the Hundred Years War.) I should be able to find one soon enough. RobertM525 08:15, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Shakespeare-and the Archbishop-is confusing his kings!.  David II was never taken to France.  That dubious honour belongs to James I-taken prisoner in 1406-who accompanied Henry V on some of his campaigns. Rcpaterson 23:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Encyclopedia Britannica (1888) says Philippa of Hainault led 12,000 Britons at the battle and captured David.  Has new evidence come to light to lower the number of troops and exclude her from this battle?
:I don't know about that troop count, but the page on Philippa, citing Agnes Strickland, says that she rallied the troops on horseback prior to the battle.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  17:08, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , I would be extremely hesitant to take the unsupported word of a more-than-147-year-old source. Obviously I consulted a pretty wide range of more recent sources, and I found no mention of any involvement by Philippa in the battle. Equally obviously I won't have looked at everything, so this is up for a change if it can be sourced to a high-quality RS. (The "high-quality" bit is a specifically FA requirement.) But ATM it looks like an unsupported 150-year-old outlier, which wouldn't even get a mention in order to be debunked. Cheers and feel free to keep poking.

message: This article contradicts itself on the issue of where the Cross comes from.  Was it Anglo-Saxon in origin or did Neville erect it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.182.119 (talk) 20:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Erm, one mile is 1609.34 meters, so yeah, 800 meters is pretty close. Bobbychan193 (talk) 04:33, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

message: According to the The Battlefields Trust, the actual location of the battle is under academic review and might actually be further north than the traditional local of Crossgate Moor.81.159.165.12 (talk) 12:26, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

message: A section was added on the local legend that walking nine times around the cross allows a person to hear the sounds of the battle. This was sourced and was removed, but should be reinstated. 94.173.250.139 (talk) 23:13, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? It is of no relevance to the battle, which is the topic of this article; it was partially unsourced; the part which was sourced was to a 140 year old work which does not meet the reliable source threshold; and the deleted material failed several FAC criteria. As just explained here. Nor has it gathered a sufficient consensus to overcome that of the FAC review. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:27, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
