    Nam rex dedit filio suo Oddoni coniugem filiam Ethmundi regis Anglorum, sororem Adalstani, quae genuit ei filium nomine Liudulfum, virum magnum, meritoque omnibus populis carum, filiam quoque nomine Liudgardam, quae nupserat Conrado Francorum duci.

    Ille annus notabilis casu calamitoso totius populi, de morte scilicet beatae memoriae Edidis reginae, cuius dies extrema semptimo Kal. Februar. celebrata est cum gemitu et lacrimis omnium Saxonum. Haec nata ex gente Anglorum, non minus sancta religione quam regali potentia pollentium stirpe claruit. Decem annorum regni consortia tenuit, undecimo obiit. Saxoniuam vero decem et novem annis inhabitavit. Reliquit filium nomine Liudulfum, omni virtute animi et corporis ea aetate nulli mortali secundum; filiam quoque nomine Liudgardam, quae nupserat Conrado duci. Sepulta est autem in civitate Magathaburg in basilica nova latere aquilonali ad orientem. [A footnote gives VI. Kal. as an alternative in "A" to "septimo Kal."]
