De occisione multorum Tartarorum in Hispania.
The Slaughter of the Saracens in Hispania
Alinimolinus, emperor of the Saracens, invades with a vast army but is decisively defeated, suffering such great slaughter that streams of blood flow from the slain, and he barely escapes with a handful of men.
At this time also, Alinimolinus, emperor of the Saracens, came with an infinite multitude, and they conquered in battle, and so great a slaughter was made that streams of blood flowed from the slain Saracens. Alinimolinus, routed with a few men, escaped.
