Romhild and Grimoald the boy

The Hunnen or Awaren had broken in with army strength into the Lombardei; Gisulf, duke of Friaul, opposed manful, was subject however with its weak handful to the large quantity. Only few Lombarden got off alive; they fled with Romhild, Gisulfs wife, and its sons into the fortress Friaul. As now Cacan, the Hunnenkoenig, before the walls of the castle, in order to visit it, gentleman CCIT, saw it Romhild and saw that he was a flowering young man. There ward it ignites and sent it secret message: if it became it conjugal, it wanted to give the castle with all, which would be in it, to its hands. Cacan was received this, and Romhild let the gates open. The Hunnen devastated the whole city; which from men in it was, they killed by the sword, around the women and children however drew them. But Taso and Romoald, Gisulfs oldest sons escaped, lucky; and because they considered Grimoald, their youngest brother, too small still, a Ross to mount, then they, thought it would be better that he would die than in shank would fall, and wanted to kill him. And the speer already was against the boy raised, there called Grimoald with tears: "do not kill me, because I can hold myself on that horses." Its brother seized it with the arm and set him on the bare back of a horse; the boy seized the zuegel and followed its brothers. The Hunnen ran afterwards, and one caught the small Grimoald; but it wanted not to kill but to its operation waive it, its tender youth because of. The boy was beautifully yellow from education, shining from eyes and from hair; when the Hunne led back it into the camp, he pulled his sword unexpectedly and met the enemy that he fell of horses to soil. Then it reached fast into the zuegel and ran the brothers after, whom it caught up also, merrily its act.
      The Hunnenkoenig, in order to fulfill its given word, vermaehlte itself with Romhilden, kept it however only one night and gave it then to twelve Hunnen price; whereupon it let it up-mirror-image-eat to death to a stake. Gisulfs of daughters however had not followed the example of their geilen nut/mother, but they had themselves, in order to retain their Keuschheit, under the chests bound raw chicken meat, so that the Gestank of the meat back-drove each enemy, who approached them. The Hunnen believed on it that they would smell in such a way from nature, abhorred it and spoke: "the Lombardinnen stinks!" By this act the virgins received their purity and after times, how it ziemte their noble birth, were vermaehlt; the king of the Alemannen, the other one the duke that Bavaria.

Leupichis escapes

At this time also Leupichis was carried along as a child from the Friaul into the shank, one of five brothers, about which other all this died; it however strove to escape the Hunnen and come back into its homeland. A daily implemented it the intended escape, carried only arrow and elbow forward and something meal; he did not know however, where. There a wolf associated with it and became its signpost/guide. And as it the animal often after it umblicken itself and, whenever it stood still, also to stand still, thought he saw that it would be sent to him by God. Thus moved they, the animal and the boy, some days by mountains and valleys of the wilderness; finally the Leupichis few bread went out, which it had. Soon verzehrte it hunger, and it stretched its elbow on the wolf, so that the animal should serve him for the meal. The wolf evaded to the arrow and disappeared. Now however he did not know no more, which way to hit, and threw itself exhausted to soil; in the sleep he saw a man, who talked to him: "rise, which you sleep, and accept the way after the area, where your feet are arranged, because is appropriate for Italy there." Immediately Leupichis rose and went dahinwaerts; it arrived at the dwellings of the Slawen, an old woman accepted it, hid it in its house and gave it food. Whereupon it continued the way and came after few days into the Lombardei, to the place, where it originated. He found the house of its parents so veroedet that it had no more roof and fully thorn and thistles. It blow it down, and between the walls had grown a large Ulmbaum, to hung it its elbow up. Hernach cultivated he the place of new, took myself a woman and lived daselbst. This Leupichis became the historical writer Urahn. Leupichis witnessed to Arichis, Arichis the Warnefried and Warnefried the Paulus.

Origin that Saxonia

After an old people legend those grew out of in the middle Saxonia with Aschanes (Askanius), their first king, from resin rock in the green forest with a sweet Springbruennlein. Among the craftsmen sees still nowadays the Reim has receiving:

Whereupon like that I am gone to Saxonia, where the beautiful Maegdlein on the trees grows; haett if I remembered, then haett myself I one bring along of it.

And Aventin leads already strangely the name of the Teutons of germinare, attains full growth, off, because the Germans on the trees are to have grown.

The Saxonia build ox castle

When those had arrived Saxonia at England, they asked the king that it would give them such Bleck of country, which they could refer with a ochsenhaut. Since it this granted, they cut the skin into narrow belts, referred thereby area a place, built there a castle named Ossenburg.

The Merowinger

The Merowinger was called the Borstigen (cristati), because the legend after all kings from this sex bristles, as grow the pigs, in the middle on the back. - Chlodio, Faramunds son, sat a daily with the queen at the Meergestade to cool from the summer heat to there rose a monster (sea man), bulls directly, from the waves, seized the bathing queen and overwhelmed it. It bore on it a son of strange, marvelous reputation, why it was called Merowig, i.e. Merefech, and of it the Franconia kings, Merowinger (Merofingi, Mereiangelingi) rise mentioned.

Remig hunts the conflagration

When in the city Reims verzehrt a furious fire broken out and already the third part of the dwellings was, the holy one experienced the message in the Nikasienkirche, thrashed themselves and flehte God around assistance. Whereupon it hurried with fast steps into the city; on the stages of the church stairs its Fusstapfen were imprinted on the hard stone, as more waer it soft clay/tone, and still today's tags for the proof of the goettlichen miracle are seen there. Whereupon it turned the flame against, and it had hardly made the cross for rights with its, when it yielded and began forwards holy present as it were to flee. He pursued it, drove her out from all still intact Oertern and last the open gate. Whereupon it closed the Tuere and ordered, under expressed threat against each frevler that it should be opened never more. When after some years a citizen, named Fercinctus, living beside it, which broke through brick-work, with which this gate was locked, came the epidemic into his house that in it neither humans nor cattle remained alive.

The Remigs part of the Wasichenwald

It had bought the holy Remig for its church a large piece of the Wasichenwaldes, woselbst it some weiler, named Kosla and Gleni, to have built is. Into these it set inhabitants from the close-convenient city Berna, which had to supply a certain annually to the church with at pitch. The borders of this property it had thrown so exactly marked out that it admits everyone is, under others with its own hand a stone on a hollow tree hole. With this stone it has the marvelous Bewandtnis that one waives and with the hand into the cave hands it, however the stone completely from the place to never remove can. When this had tried once in vain a Abguenstiger, he wanted to strike hatchets the hole with more largely; hardly however vogue er's against the tree, then dorrte its right hand, and its eyes went blind.
      At emperors Ludwigs times were set two brothers to Foerstern of the royal forest. These stated that that piece that hears kings, and argued about it with the people of the church. It happened that one of these brothers its pigs, which it had sent into the forest, to see wanted and a wolf among them met. By pursuing the raubtier, its Ross shrank from, and he smashed himself its head at a tree that he separated presently/immediately. As after the other brother once to rock in the forest came and proclaimed: "everyone is to be known kund and, everything that up to this rock stone go, is emperor forest!" also with these words with its axe to the stone it struck then pieces jumped out of the fact in its eyes that he became blind.

The coming forest and the sounding clips

When Childebert with large army power broke in in Guntrams and Fredegundens realm, the queen admonished her Franconias to courageous controversy and let Guntrams left Soehnlein in the cradle ahead-carry; the gewaffneten crowds followed the baby at the nut/mother chest. Fredegund invented a ruse. In dark midnight, aforementioned of land Erich, the young Chlotars guardian, rose the army and pulled into a forest. Land Erich seized itself a hatchet and a blow a tree branch; drauf it took clips and hung it on the horse neck, on which it rode. The same to do, he admonished all its krieger; everyone with branches of tree in the hand and sounding clips on their horses, they moved closer in in former times morning hour the hostile camp. The queen, holding the young Chlotar in the arms, preceded, so that pitying would like to ignite the krieger over the child, which to be taken prisoner had, where they would be subject. When now one of the hostile guards in the dawn out-looked, he called its associates: "which is for a forest, I see which standing, where evening was not even small bushes yesterday?" - "you are still weintrunken and everything forgot", spoke an other guard; "our people found in the close forest fodder and pasture for their horses. Don't you hear, like the clips sound at the neck of the feasting Rosse?" (it was from old times on custom of Franconias, and particularly since the eastern that they anhingen their grazing horses clips, so that, if they erred, ringing would let them regain.) Meanwhile the guards such speeches among themselves led, let Franconias branches of leaves fall, and the forest level there empty of sheets, but mirror-image-eat closely of the trunks more resplendent. There confusion attacked the enemies and sudden frights; from the sleep they were aroused to the bloody battle, and which escape could not, fell exhausted; hardly the army leaders on fast Rossen might have saved themselves from death.
