 * I've got several sourcing issues. Namely:

Juxlos (talk) 21:22, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
 * "During Medieval times, Christmas carols had started to develop a separate style from ordinary Christian hymns" - I can't find this in the source cited inline
 * "it is presumed to have been written between 1510 and 1520" - the source says "Anthology of mostly secular pieces probably copied in London ca. 1510-1520". It was copied in that time range, but was it written then?
 * the quote in source [9], which is offline
 * I have fixed the issues.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 22:04, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
