An abbey is founded on the field of battle, which Sebile enters; Dyalas, baptized as Guiteclin the convert, receives charge of the kingdom, and the Emperor returns, bearing with him the bodies of Baldwin and Berard; after which well was France in peace many a year and many a day; the Emperor found not any who should make him wroth. Fastrada: a Legend of Aix-la-Chapelle
His beard swayed, whiter than flax, his long moustache quivered; until dawn he lamented his nephew, and the twelve peers, and all his next-of-kin who were dead. From the gate at morn a Saxon, King Dyalas, defies the old man, swearing that he will wear his crown in Paris. The Emperor has the gate opened, and sallies forth to meet him.
Old Naymes in turn kills his man a brother of Guiteclin in single combat, Dyalas, the Emperors new vassal, armed in French fashion, performs wonders in honour of his new allegiance. Finally the Herupese come up, and of course overthrow the Saxons.
