[[Battle of Nájera]]
I am currently going through the citations in this article you made an edit ( [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_N%C3%A1jera&diff=prev&oldid=721431473 Revision as of 20:33, 21 May 2016 ]) in which you took some existing text without citations, added a POV warning and some citations:

Another source is the unreliable chronicle of Jean Froissart, known for his anglophilia, whose data should not be taken too seriously in this battle because he was not even in Spain at that time. According to Froissart the Castilian-French army had 57,000 men. Some British historians have raised the numbers to 86,000 men.{{Cite book|url=https://openlibrary.org/books/OL24188892M/British_battles_on_land_and_sea|title=British battles on land and sea|last=James|first=Grant|date=1880-01-01|publisher=Cassell and co., limited|edition=Special ed.|location=London [etc.]|page=64|chapter=XI.

The problem I have is the page to which you link ([https://books.google.es/books?id=jHQ-AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA309&lpg=PA309&dq=whose+courage+was+proof%253B+namely,+sir+Robert+Cheney&source=bl&ots=VIJPYqHqnR&sig=eW3aSjRRKnQKi7VAXQyatrpqJcM&hl=en&ei=SrbVS73lLZuh_AbnlPTLDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false 309]) does not contain any numbers. It is also a very old edition (which I found difficult to read). Here is a newer edition:

Please could yo supply the page numbers for the citations you give. -- PBS (talk) 13:37, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
