Summary

Description
English: Alphart in his famous last battle, after defeated 50 of Ermenrich's men. Wittich and Heime dishonourably fight him two-on-one, after Wittich had already been defeated. Heime came to his rescue. Alphart was eventually stabbed in the back and died. When they took off his helmet, they realised he was only 18 and the beloved nephew of Hildebrand and ran away in shame and told no one what had happened.
Deutsch: Witege findet den Kampfplatz mit den erschlagenen Recken, der dort verbliebene Alphart gibt sich wieder nicht zu erkennen und fordert ihn zum Kampf. Alphart stößt im Speerkampf Witege vom Pferd und betäubt ihn durch Schwerthiebe auf den Helm. Alphart tötet den wehrlosen Witege nicht, sondern wartet, dass er aufwacht. Heime kommt heran, um Witege zu helfen. Sein Schlichtungsversuch schlägt fehl. Witege erwacht aus der Ohnmacht und fordert Heime auf, gemeinsam mit ihm gegen Alphart zu kämpfen. Dieser lehnt das erst ab, doch angestachelt von Witege, beginnt er den Kampf mit Alphart, Witege dringt gleichzeitig auf Alphart ein, der schließlich von Heime eine tiefe Kopfwunde erhält und niedersinkt, worauf Witege ihm das Schwert in den Leib stößt.
