blackburn (surname)
the fate of stoigniew is described by both widukind of corvey and thietmar of merseburg. while both agree that he was decapitated, their accounts on how that happened differ: widukind says that during the battle, stoigniew was chased into a wood, run down and killed by a soldier named hosed, who was handsomely rewarded after presenting otto with stoigniew's severed head. 









































thietmar of merseburg claims the captured stoigniew, whom he calls stoinneg, was decapitated by otto. after the battle, according to widukind, stoinegin's head was raised on a pole and seven hundred captured slavs were executed before sundown.
