German source for Barnet

German source for Barnet

2013-07-16 22:59:56
Some weeks, even months back, I'm sure somebody posted a link to a German source which said that Duke Richard sustained some injury during the battle of Barnet. I've had a quick look in Ross & Baldwin but they don't appear to have this reference. I tried the link at the time but couldn't make it large enough to read it. Now I have a better PC I'd like to try again.
Can anybody help me out?
I heard Dr Toby Caplan at the Wallace Collection today & he commented that leaders & kings were meant to lead from the front in medieval times or men wouldn't follow them. Wasn't H7 fortunate to have Oxford at Bosworth & Stoke?

It was a letter from one Gerhard von Wesel, who was at the Steelyard in London at the time and saw the Yorkist army return, with all the wounded soldiers, etc.
Hannes Kleineke wrote about it for The Ricardian (vol 16, 2006), and there is also a 1968 paper about it by John Adair, of which there is a copy in the Society Papers Library.
