Original Text :	Caesis igitur plurimis Heinricus vehementer in brachio est percussus, et quamquam loricae triplicis fortitudo ad carnem usque ensis aciem non admitteret, pondere tamen percussionis acerbae brachium est adeo in livorem conversum, ut nullis medicorum curis ita mederi posset, ne recurrente anno dolorem permagnum sentiret. Unde et multo post huius facinoris occasione ipsum fassi sunt hominem exivisse.
