Fennell, John (1983). The crisis of medieval Russia, 1200-1304. Longman. (XXX) (CITE)

- This book has been helpful to me to get context surrounding the events leading up to and the "main characters" of the Battle on the Ice.

Hellie, Richard (2006). "ALEXANDER NEVSKII'S APRIL 5, 1242 BATTLE ON THE ICE". Russian History. 33: 284

- This article was peer reviewed and published in a notable journal specifically about the area I'm investigating. The entire article is just on this battle, which is not what I can say about some of my other sources which cover centuries of medieval Russian history.

- I also already added this citation to something written in the Wikipedia article that was missing a citation while I was practicing.

Krivosheev Yury Vladimirovich, & Sokolov Roman Alexandrovich. (2014). The Battle on the Ice (1242): investigators and investigations. Studia Slavica et Balcanica Petropolitana, 1, 3. (CITE)

- This source offers a different angle to understanding the "truth" to what actually happened at this battle. It is an investigative article made by scientists who set out to understand what happened at this battle by going to the site of the battle itself (Lake Peipus).

Martin, Janet. (2007). Medieval Russia : 980-1584 (2nd ed.). Cambridge University Press. (XXX) (CITE)

- Like the above book, this book has also been helpful to me to get context surrounding the events leading up to and the "main characters" of the Battle on the Ice.

- This book also cites some of the difficulties with the historiography of people telling the story of this battle, specifically the influence that Soviet historians had on propagating this battle during WWII and exaggerating the events of what actually happened during this battle.

- This is a book published by a university press, so it should be a reliable source.

Ostrowski, Donald (2006). "Alexander Nevskii’s ‘Battle on the Ice’: The Creation of a Legend,” Russian History. 33: 289–312

- This article was peer reviewed and published in a notable journal specifically about the area I'm investigating. The entire article is just on this battle, which is not what I can say about some of my other sources which cover centuries of medieval Russian history.

Zenkovsky, Serge A., ed., trans., "Tale of the Life and Courage of the Pious and Great Prince Alexander [Nevsky]" in Medieval Russia's Epics, Chronicles and Tales (New York: Meridian, pp. 224-236,1963). (CITE)

- This source is interesting to me because it reveals some of the problems with trying to get to the "truth" of what happened at the battle. Epic stories like these are part of what has contributed to a long and complicated historiography on this subject.
