Talk:Battle of Shrewsbury

Numbers
The numbers given regarding the size of the army and extent of casualties are impossibly high. I've added a quick note to try and combat this, but the article really needs an overhaul. It reads more like a chronicle than an analysis of battle. Perhaps one day I'll have time to come back to it. Anyone else interested in the meantime should check out the Barker and Prestwich books referenced, and other reputable historians. Gwinva 03:16, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Self contradiction
The King's forces sustained much greater losses than the rebels, in fact Henry IV very nearly lost both his life and his throne. This contradicts the Casualties and losses summary which shows 10,000 rebel losses v 5,000 royal losses. I will use the English Heritage figures. JRPG (talk) 18:26, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
