Original Text :	Relicto illic presidio, rex in ulteriora loca ad demoliendas uxoris quoque eius possessiones exercitum abduxit, villas multas opibus et aedificiis ornatissimas incendit, bona diripuit, in mulieres et pueros - nam viri in montes et in saltus devios se abdiderant - feda et hostilia multa commisit; tantaque in ea expeditione acerba et crudelia perpessi sunt a rege proprio homines innocentes et nulla saltem suspicione criminis cuiusquam infamati, ut nihil acerbius, nihil crudelius a barbaris perpeti potuissent.
