The army of King Henry the Fowler lays siege to and captures the castle Lenzen, while defeating an Slavic army sent to relieve the defenders with many losses on both sides.
Ad hoc vindicandum noster convenit exercitus, et Lunzini civitatem obsidens, socios eorundem, eos defendere cupientes, invadit et, paucis effugientibus, prostravit; urbem quoque prefatam acquisivit. Ex nostris autem duo abavi mei, uno nomine, quod Liutheri sonat, signati, milites optimi et genere clarissimi, decus et solamen patriae, Nonas Septembris cum multis aliis oppeciere.
