| Quotation | Nam Rogerius, ne, alios ad militiam arrigens, ipse refugere diceretur, in omni congressu sese sociis praeponens, quendam fortissimum et enormi corpore virum, exercitui Normannorum multis contumeliis exprobrantem, quem omnes quasi gigantem exhorrebant, impetu factu, hastili robore deiciens, interfecit. ... caeteri omnes, urbe reddita, ditioni Normannorum se subdiderunt |
| Translation | Roger was indeed at the forefront of his men in every engagement lest it be said that he spurred on others to fight while hanging behind himself. He attacked a very brave man of enormous size who was reviling the Norman army with many insults and of whom everybody was terrified as though by a giant, overthrew him with his strong lance and killed him. ... the rest surrendered the city and submitted to the Normans' rule |
