Amissis ducibus, aliquamdiu utramque aciem anceps pugna tenuit. Sed Ecberdus, quamquam graviter saucius, dolore tarnen interempti fratris efferatus, rapido cursu in confertissimos hostes precipitem se mittit, Bernhardi comitis filium, egregium adolescentem, sed vixdum miliciae maturum, interficit; caeteros languidius, quoniam ducem perdidissent, pugnantes in fugam convertit. Sic res publica maximo metu liberata est, et Saxones, adempto rebellionis signifero, nihil ulterius quod secus esset contra regem moliti sunt.
