Battle of Win Hill

The story of the Battle of Win Hill comes word for word from a website called Early British Kingdoms:(http://www.earlybritishkingdoms.com/kingdoms/496.html) There is no record of any such battle in any Anglo-Saxon sources. This period of history is well served by Anglo-Saxon sources as they were written by clerics and it was around this time the Anglo-Saxons in this region were converted to Christianity. The author of the Early British Kingdoms website says he got the information from a book of Derbyshire legends, but cannot recall the author or find the book. As it was from a book of 'legends' the story should probably be treated as a myth created to explain the stones and boulders lying around on the slopes of the hill. 86.13.161.10 (talk) 15:26, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

It appears User:Skog1998 has found the book. I feel that it is a good idea to report this story in full, because it is definitely relevant to the hill, but at the same time make it clear that it is probably false. Plokmijnuhby (talk) 17:57, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
