Text	De rebus gestis Rogerii Calabriae et Siciliae comitis et Roberti Guiscardi ducis fratris eius (1075 - 1100) Geoffrey Malaterra
Quotation	Ille, ut assolet, quamvis prudentissimus esset, ambitione captus, Alamannorum exercitu ab imperatore sibi in adjutorio accepto, confidens in auxilio Longobardorum, Apuliam intrat. … Longobardi, territi, fuga seipsos tueri nituntur, Alamannis in proelio relictis. Qui, cum fortiter dimicarent, nullum refugium nisi in armis habentes, Normannis vincentibus, pene omnes occubuerunt
Translation	The emperor sent an army of Germans to help him, and he entered Apulia, trusting in the assistance of the Lombards … The terrified Lombards tried to save themselves by flight and left the battle to the Germans. The latter put their trust in their arms and fought bravely, but the Normans were victorious and nearly all of the Germans were killed.
