The chamberlains of Bishop Hezilo of Hildesheim and Abbot Widerad of Fulda insult and attack each with fists over a seating arrangement dispute on Christmas, but are stopped before they can draw weapons.
Rex natalem Domini Goslariae celebravit. Ubi ipsa die, dum ad vesperam sellae episcoporum locarentur, inter camerarios Hecelonis Hildenesheimensis episcopi et camerarios Wideradi Fuldensis abbatis gravis concertatio oborta est, et primo iurgiis, dein pugnis res gesta est, citoque ad gladios prorupissent, nisi Ottonis ducis Baioariorum, qui causam abbatis tuebatur, auctoritas intercessisset.

Remark :
long-term consequence: The party of Bishop Hezilo later takes revenge, attacking the Abbot and his followers during Pentecost: "Bishop Hezilo of Hildesheim, Count Ekbert and their men ambush Abbot Widerad of Fulda and his followers during Pentecost service in presence of the King, first with fists and clubs, then with weapons, resulting in many injured and dead on both sides."
