De combustione castri Bisene.
The Ambush at Bisena
Teutonic brothers and men-at-arms kill six Lithuanian guards as they withdraw from the castle of Bisena, while the remaining guards abandon their posts.
That same year, on the feast day of Saint Ambrose, Brother Theodoricus of Aldenburgk, Brother Fridericus Quitz, and another brother, along with three men-at-arms from Raganita, went toward the castle of Bisena, at the very time when certain Lithuanians, having completed their week of duty guarding the said castle, were supposed to withdraw, and they killed six of them. The other six, while they watched two men-at-arms whom they had assigned to guard the road.
The Burning of Bisena
The fleeing guards discard their arms, and the brothers find the castle empty and burn it, leaving it abandoned ever since.
They had already assigned them, but throwing aside their arms, they fled. After this, the brothers, with their men-at-arms, finding the said castle completely empty, burned it to the ground, and so this castle has remained abandoned to the present day.

Eodem anno in die beati Ambrosii frater Theodoricus de Aldenburgk, et frater Fridericus Quitz, et quidam alius frater, cum tribus armigeris de Raganita iverunt versus castrum Bisenam, illo eciam tempore, quo quidam Lethowini completa hebdomada vicis sue de custodia dicti castri debebant recedere, et ex eis sex occiderunt. Alii sex, dum viderent duos armigeros, quos ad vie custod. iami deputaverant, rejectis armis effugerunt. Post hec fratres cum armigeris suis, invenientes dictum castrum vacuum, funditus combusserunt, et sic remansit hoc castrum desolatum usque in presentem diem *.
