796: In eodem anno tudun secundum pollicitationem suam cum magna parte Avarorum ad regem venit, se cum populo suo et patria regi dedit; ipse et populus baptizatus est, et honorifice muneribus donati redierunt.
Rex collectis exercitibus suis Saxoniam ingressus est, filium suum Pippinum regem Italiae in pannonias cum exercitu misso. Cuius legationes ad eum in eadem Saxonia venerunt, una, quae dixit occurrisse ei kagan cum ceteris optimatibus, quem sibi Avares post interfectionem priorum constituerunt; altera, quae dixit Pippino cum exercitu suo in hringo sedere. Et domnus rex peragrata Saxonia cum integro exercitu suo in Gallias se recepit et in Aquis palatio filium suum Pippinum e Pannonia redeuntem et partem thesauri, quae remanserat, adducentem laetus aspexit. |
| Translation |
In the same year the tudun in accordance with his promise came to the king with most of the Avars and submitted to him, with his people and land. He and his people were baptized and after receiving
honorable gifts returned home.
But the tudun was not willing to keep long the fealty he had pledged and not much later received the penalty of his treachery. Having mustered his armies the king entered Saxony while sending his son Pepin, the king of Italy, with an army into Pannonia. Pepin's embassies reached the king in Saxony. They first informed him that the khagan, whom the Avars themselves had appointed after the murder
of his predecessors, had come with the rest of his magnates and met Pepin. The second told the king that Pepin was occupying the ring with his army. The Lord King marched through Saxony with his entire host and then returned to Gaul. In the palace at Aachen he was happy to see his son Pepin return from Pannonia bringing along the rest of the treasure. |
