In the preface to this little work I said I would follow three authorities only. But as the chief of these, Werinbert, died seven days ago and today (30 May) we, his bereaved sons and disciples, are going to pay solemn honour to his memory, here I will bring this book to an end, concerning the piety of Lord Charles and his care of the Church, which has been taken from the lips of this same cleric, Werinbert.
The next book, which deals with the wars of the most fierce Charles, is founded on the narrative of Werinbert’s father, Adalbert. He followed his master Kerold in the Avar, Saxon and Slavic wars, and when I was quite a child, and he a very old man, I lived in his house and he used often to tell me the story of these events. I was most unwilling to listen and would often run away; but in the end by sheer force he made me hear.
