Sed mox in prima coitione R. rex cum tanto impetu, terrore et incursu pugnacissimus ipsis violenter institit, ut virtutis illius constantiam omnino sustinere non sufficerent; quin potius aut interfecti illic occubuerunt, aut enerves et inbelles fuga se ab eo quamvis turbulenta liberarunt. Post nonam ergo belli conflictatio exorsa, ad usque noctem diversissime perduravit, et quod divino actum creditur iudicio, in ipso pugne exordio statim partes utrasque turbo nivium ventosissimus tam mirabiliter obtenebravit, ut ferme nemo suos commilitones cognoscere quivisset; donec nox adveniens, fugitantes et persequentes in hoc articulo belligerantes diremisset. Baioarii et Franci cum rege suo prefugace primum se a tam strage dirissima, preceleres ac non minimum perterriti, enerviter proripiebanti.
