Which medieval naval battles deserve more attention?

Were there other overlooked medieval naval battles with major historical effects?

Yes; Sluys is a leading example, and other medieval battles remain understudied because the period receives comparatively sparse coverage.

Sluys is a major but underappreciated battle, and other medieval naval actions also deserve closer study. Modern literature covers roughly a thousand years of early naval history far less densely than later centuries. The imbalance reflects surviving sources and scholarly attention, rather than an absence of consequential maritime events. Medieval sea control repeatedly shaped wars that are better known for their land campaigns.
