| Translation text: | The Bishop [Egidius] had been implicated in the plot made by Rauching, Ursio and Berthefried to kill King Childebert. The Bishop was immediately seized and dragged off to the town of Metz [...] Childebert gave him permission to return to his city. Meanwhile [...] The King sent letters to all the bishops of his realm, ordering them to meet in the city of Metz in the middle of November to take part in the trial [...] the bishops met together and then they were compelled to go on to Metz, where Egidius was now awaiting trial. [...] Otto, who was Referendary at the time and was supposed to have written the studied signature, was ordered to appear |
