| Pertz MGH (882) 237 Qui Walo, dum vix septem annis aecclesiam rexisset, excursione Nortmannorum, postquam plures Galliarum partes pervagata fuerat, usque Treviros accedente, dum eis incaute manuque impari congredi parat, usque ad locum qui dicitur Remicha in littore Moselle obviam venit. Nortmannis impetum minaciter facientibus, dum his nulle ad resistendum suppetunt vires, non praelium iam illud, sed strages miserorum fuit. Ibi episcopus cum ceteris obtruncatur. |
Walo (*), die de kerk amper zeven jaar leidde, achtervolgde de Noormannen die Trier
naderden nadat zij door veel gebieden in Gallië hadden gezworven, ze werden bang omdat hun onbeschermde groep de mindere was van degene die
hun tegemoet kwam bij een plaats op de oever van de Moezel, Remich geheten. De Noormannen vielen aan zo lang er niemand was om hen te
weerstaan, om tegen hun te strijden, het was echter een ongelukkige slag. De bisschop en anderen werden hier gedood. (*) bisschop van Metz, 876-882 |
Walo (*), who was ruling the church for hardly seven years, pursued the Norsemen who
approached Trier after they wandered through many regions in Gaul, they were scared because their unprotected gang was inferior to
those that came against them at a place called Remich on the banks of the Moselle. The Norsemen made an attack as long as there was
no one to withstand their forces, to fight against them, however it was an unfortunate slaughter. Here the bishop and others were
killed. (*) bishop of Metz, 876-882 |
