De vastacione episcopatus Tharbatensis terre Lyvonie.
The Lethowini Devastation of the Tarbatensian Bishopric
The Lethowini invaded the land of Livonia, ravaging the bishopric of Tarbatensis with fire and plunder, slaying over five thousand Christians and dragging them into perpetual captivity.
While the brothers' army was in those territories, the Lethowini entered the land of Livonia with a great multitude of people. Besides the other damages they inflicted on the bishopric of Tarbatensis through fire and plunder, they killed five thousand Christian men and more, and led them away into perpetual captivity.
