Remark :
date: In 1059 AD or earlier, as this is said to have happened prior to Duke Bernhards death. motive: This was motivated by a continuous feud between the Billung family of Ordulf and the bishop of Bremen.
Notes :
For the preceding attacks on the lands of the bishop of Bremen, refer to: "Duke Ordulf of Saxony and his army lay waste to the Frisian lands of the bishop of Bremen and blind members of the church."
