Battle of Süntel

The Battle of Süntel [1] was a land battle that took place between Saxon rebels led by Widukind and a detachment of Frankish forces led by envoys of Charlemagne named Adalgis, Geilo, and Worad at Süntel in 782 during the Saxon Wars. The result was a victory for the Saxons, resulting in the deaths of Adalgis, Geilo, four counts, and 20 other noblemen.[2] Shortly following the loss, Charlemagne had 4,500 rebels beheaded on a single day, in an event sometimes known as the Verden Massacre.[3]

gollark: What's that doing? Just deliquifying emeralds?
gollark: I also like Factorio, because despite being magic-blocky there are complex supply chains and stuff, loads of ways to optimize, and it's actually designed to allow mass production.
gollark: Ender IO: place one block, you have done all ore processing forever, maybe add grinding balls.TE: get pulverizer, you can also get induction smelters with interesting tradeoffs (faster but requires sand and no secondary output of other metal), maybe set up hybrid system involving feeding in cinnabar or whatever, get pyro-concentrators and tectonic initiators, supply petrotheum and pyrotheum...
gollark: Yes, but they allow complex stuff to be built from them, that's the thing.
gollark: (yes, you can play it on 1.12, GT:CE at least)
