Original Text :
Nam Manegoldus, miles imperatoris, de Augensi abbatia magnum beneficium habens, ab imperatore et Warmanno Constantiensi episcopo, qui tunc vice ducis Herimanni Alamanniam gubernabat, praesidio locatus fuerat, ne dux Ernestus praedas aut incendia faceret in regione. Statim dux Ernestus et assecutores sui nimium alacres effecti sunt, existimantes iniurias suas cito ulturos fore in hostibus, arreptoque itinere suos insecutores insequi coeperunt. Eadem intentione Manegoidus comes et qui eum illo fuerant huc et illuc progredientes itinera ducis diligenter observabant. Hac occasione utrimque collata ita coniuncti sunt, ut se invicem videre et affari possent. Erant autem ex parte Manegoldi multo plures milites quam de parte ducis. Nec mora, congressi pugnabant acriter omnes, ex parte ducis ira, ferocitate, audacia incitati, ex altera parte pro gloria, pro remuneratione adducti. Hi, qui eum duce fuerant, cum nihil de vita cogitarent, omnes ad interitum properabant. Dux vero cum nemini parceret, in hoc praelio neminem sibi parcentem invenit et a plurimis vulneratus postremo interfeetus occubuit. Ibi cecidit Wezilo comes, miles ducis, cuius causa haec omnia acciderant; Adelbertus et Werin, nobiles viri, et alii multi interfecti sunt ibi. Ex altera parte ipse Manegoldus comes, auctor huius eongressionis, cecidit et plures alii secum.
