In quo itinere missos ab Italia plurimorum suscepit, qui eum invitabant Italiam ire, quoniam nepos suus Hludowicus imperator in Benevento civitate cum uxore et filia a Beneventanis occisus foret.
(...) Sed et Hludowicus rex Germaniae, audiens praefatum nepotem suum Hludowicum imperatorem mortuus, filium suum Karolum in terram quam ultra Iurum habebat direxit, ut quos posset sacramento ad eius fidelitatem stringeret; sicut et fecit. |

But on the way there he received envoys from a number of people in Italy, inviting him to go there: his nephew Louis, they said, along with his wife and daughter, had been slain in Benevento by the Beneventans. (...) Louis king of Germany also reacted to the news of the death of his nephew the Emperor Louis: he dispatched his son Charles [the Fat] to the territory he held beyond the Jura Mountains, to bind as many men as he could to his allegiance by solemn oaths, and this young Charles duly did. |
