Sources

The Gerold source is just a reprinting of the song itself (sheet music/lyrics). And the other source does not have anything to do with the song that I can tell -- just the historical events referenced. The rest of the draft seems to be your original analysis of the song. Are there any other sources that discuss the song rather than simply reprinting it? If so, please add them. If not, it may be more appropriate to have an article about the larger manuscript, possibly including (or supplemented by) a list of songs in the manuscript.

The first source is from the Bayeux Manuscript, which shows that it is indeed in there. It also confirms the lyrics. The second one verifies that Prigent VII de Coëtivy was indeed part of the winning side in the Battle of Formigny. The only unsourced claim is "The word "tails" is an allusion to the fact that the English were considered demons, so much so that popular imagination attributed them a tail", which could be original analysis, but not mine. The article was translated from the French wikipedia. I have reached out to the editors there in case they have a source for this claim, otherwise it will probably have to be removed. --Antondimak (talk) 18:32, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

I also found a citation mentioning for the resemblance of "couez" and "couard". It also "discusses" the song in the first half of the article (the second half of the article being about a modern rendition of it). --Antondimak (talk) 08:33, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

I also added and sourced the meaning of the word "Godon", which the reader isn't expected to know. --Antondimak (talk) 09:00, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

I'll let someone else review this time, but as of this revision the sources do not show notability: 1) reprint of the song (and >100 other songs from Bayeux Manuscript) without commentary; 2) relates to 100 Years' War generally, not this song; 3) not reliable; 4) relates to word used in song, but does not mention song; 5) same as 4.

All sources except the 3rd one are only used to verify facts in the article. Only the 3rd one is actually "about" the song. --Antondimak (talk) 20:35, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Which man?

There is a different Charles III linked over the link in the article than the one linked in the article over the Manuskript itself. 84.63.61.88 (talk) 17:02, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
