Dum ea interea loci geruntur, antiqui hostes nostri Ungarii subito irruunt in Saxoniam et castris super litus Badae fluminis collocatis inde in omnem regionem diffunduntur. Dux autem missus a castris cum parte exercitus eo die ad vesperam signa movit circa urbem quae dicitur Stedieraburg. Urbani autem videntes hostes et ex itinere et ex pluvia, quae ingens erat, segniores, audacter erumpunt portis, et clamore primum territantes, demum repente in adversarios irruentes, plurimis ex eis caesis et copiosa equorum multitudine cum aliquibus signis capta, caeteros fugere compulerunt.

Remark :
long-term consequence: Many of the Hungarians are also killed by the populations of other towns and castles, described in: "Fleeing Hungarians are attacked by and take losses from Saxons wherever they pass, while their leader is chased and killed in a clay pit."
