Quotation Hludowicus autem, relicto in patria Karolo filio, quoniam nuper uxorem Ercangarii comitis filiam duxerat, Hludowicum, filium suum, secum ducens, aggreditur Winedos. Unde, quibusdam amissis primoribus et nihil propere gestis, sub optentu obsidum ad Franconofurth palatium super Moenum fluvium [revertitur]. Dani magnam regni eius partem cede et igni vastantes praedantur. Sed et hostes antea illis populis inexperti, qui Ungri vocantur, regnum eiusdem populantur.
Translation But Louis, leaving his son Charles at home, because he had lately got married to the daugther of Count Erchangar, took with him his son Louis and attacked the Wends. Having lost some of his leading men, he had no success at all, so he took hostages and returned to his palace at Frankfurt on the Main. The Danes plundered and laid waste a great part of his kingdom with fire and sword. Also enemies called Hungarians, hitherto unknown to those peples, ravaged his realm.
