Thancmarus autem fugit in ecclesiam a Leone papa beato Petro apostolo dedicatam. Exercitus autem persecutus est eum usque in templum, et maxime satellites Heinrici, dolentes ac vindicare contendentes iniuriam domini sui. Nec veriti ianuas ferro incidere, cum armis ingressi sunt I sacram aedem. Thancmarus autem stabat iuxta altare, depositis desuper armis cum torque aurea. Cumque ex adverso telis urgeretur, Thiatboldus quidam, notus Cobbonis, cum conviciis vulnus ei inflixit, ilicoque ab eo recepit, quo vita cum terribili insania in brevi caruisset. Quidam autem militum Maincia vocabulo per fenestram altari contiguam lancea a tergo perfossum ibi secus aram extinxit Thancmarum. Ipse autem fraternae fautor discordiae in Biertanico postea bello vitam cum auro ab altari nequiter rapto miserabiliter perdidit.
