Reading edition

Guil. App. apud Murat, vol. v. p. 274;

... “Sic uno tempore victi

Sunt terræ domini duo; rex Alemannicus iste,

Imperii rector Romani maximus ille:

Alter ad arma ruens armis superatur, et alter

Nominis auditi sola formidine cessit.”

Cf. Roger of Howden (404) with his wild account of Robert Wiscard, copied from Benedict, ii. 200.
