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)
