Foreign History (Harbage)

Possible Narrative and Dramatic Sources or Analogues

If Muly Mollocco is the Battle of Alcazar

If Muly Mullocco is Henslowe's name for The Battle of Alcazar, it is not a lost play. The definitive summary of sources for the extant play is in The Dramatic Works of George Peele, vol. 2; John Yoklavich, editor of The Battle of Alcazar, provides both a discussion of the sources (227-79) and a "Special Bibliography" of accounts of the historical battle (369-73). In The Stukeley Plays Charles Edelman discusses the sources also (10-16).

If Muly Mollocco is a discrete play, now lost

Its sources are unknown.
