Duke Godfrey II. of Lorraine burns the lands and settlements of Lorraine up to the Rhine and kills everyone but those who have the cover of walls or can pay him.
Gozelo dux Lutheringorum obiit; cuius filius Gotefridus, nobilissimae indolis iuvenis atque in re militari admodum exercitatus, quia ducatum patris non potuit obtinere, arma contra rem publicam corripuit, Adelbertum ducem, quem rex patri eius subrogaverat, prelio victum occidit, cedes hominum et depopulationes agrorum quam maximas fecit, loca omnia usque ad Rhenum, preter ea quae vel murorum presidio hostilem impetum subterfugiebant vel se data pecunia redemerant, in cinerem redegit.
