V.3
Two servants of Rauching fall in love.
When this love lasted for two years or even longer, the couple went to the church together [to seek asylum]. When Rauching heard of this, he visited the local priest (sacerdos loci) and demanded that his two slaves be returned to him, having forgiven them.
The priest surrendered the couple to Rauching on the condition that he would not separate or punish them. Rauching, however, buried the couple alive. The priest managed to rescue the man, but the woman suffocated.
