De rebus gestis Rogerii Calabriae et Siciliae comitis et Roberti Guiscardi ducis fratris eius (1075 - 1100) Geoffrey Malaterra |
| Quotation |
At, dum quadam die de castro ad castrum per praecipitia scopulosi montis comes visum transiret cum paucis, pars quaedam Sclavorum inter myrtetica virgulta latitans, in quodam artioris transitus loco prorumpens, irruit. Et nisi Eviscardus quidam, natione Brito, audito strepitu armorum, sese comiti et hostibus interposuisset, de ipso comite, ut aiunt, hostibus triumphus cessisset. |
| Translation |
One day the count was seen going from one camp to another along a rocky mountain slope with only a small escort. A group of Slavs [Sclavi] concealed among the myrtle thickets charged out while he was traversing a narrow defile, and had not a man called Eviscardus, a Breton, heard the clash of arms and placed himself between the count and his enemies, then the count's enemies would, so they say, have vanquished him. |
