Rioters in Mainz seek to attack priests and monks in the palace on the day of Rudolf of Rheinfelden's coronation, but his guards stop them and kill 100.
In die autem consecrationis eius per suggestionem simoniacorum clericorum maxima seditio Mogontiae orta est, ita ut etiam palatium irrumpere vellent, et religiosissimos clericos et monachos occidere. Sed dextera Dei milites novi principis, licet inermes, ita protexit, ut nullum nisi unum ex suis perderent, ex adversariis autem plus quam centum partim ferro partim aqua, necarent.

Remark :
long-term consequence: The papal legates present in Mainz demand that the soldiers of Rudolf either fast for 40 days or offer meals for 40 poors as absolution for the slain men, but they are not to be treated as murderers.
