The article says: "The poem appears to be based on an invasion of Norsemen who burned the Abbey of Saint-Riquier"

This is nonsense. If the poem is about Louis I and a Saracen invasion, then the sources are the 'Chanson of Guillaume' and Wolfram Eschenbach's 'Willhelm'. These record the Saracen invasion of Aquitaine, and how Guillaume de Gellone-Orange organised and led a Frankish army to evict the Saracens from France. This is the true source for 'Gormond et Isembart'.

You need to find a source that explains this, or just amend the comment to say: "The poem appears to be based on an invasion of Saracens who plundered much of Aquitaine in the late 8th century, and were defeated by the Frankish army of Loius I lead by Guillaume de Orange-Gellone."
