| Original text: | Bertefredus, ascenso equite, ad Veredunensem urbem dirigit, ibique in oraturio, qui in domo aeclesiastica erat, se tutari putans, praesertim cum et ipse pontifex Agericus in hac domo resederet [...] Godeghisilus, commoto iterum exercitum, domum aeclesiae cum armatis vallat. | ||||||||||||||||
| Translation text: | Thereupon Berthefried leapt on a horse and rode off to the town of Verdun, thinking that he would be safe in the oratory inside the church-house there, the more so as Bishop Ageric had his residence in this same house [...] Godegisel [...] re-formed his troops and put a cordon of armed men round the church-house. | ||||||||||||||||
