Robert of Namur and Jean Froissart are among the principal sources for the battle, alongside chronicles associated with Thomas Walsingham and others. Their accounts preserve unusually vivid episodes. They do not remove uncertainty over losses, ship totals, or individual actions. Any reconstruction therefore depends on medieval testimony rather than a complete operational record.
