This abbreviated list gives the records that provide the most information about the location of the battle. The most detailed account is that given by Hall, but this was not written until about 1540. Hall repeats assertions by a number of earlier chroniclers, with whom he disagrees on the eventual outcome. His work is the largest single influence on English accounts of the battle. The accounts by Stow and by Speed (who both had access to Hall) that place the battle on Danes Moor are even later. The contemporary accounts, from the later 15th century, are very brief and contain no significant topographical information, except for Waurin. Only Stow records that the battle was fought on Danes Moor.

Full reprints of all of these sources, plus others relating to the battle, campaign and aftermath, including new translations of Welsh records and Waurin’s account, are included in Graham Evans, “The Battle of Edgcote 1469 – Re-evaluating the evidence”. Evans’ book also analyses the reliability of all the contemporary or near contemporary sources.
