What alignment would the Roman cavalry be as they rode down the women and children? They can be expected to have raped and slaughtered the German women and children with ruthless ferocity. The Roman commanders encouraged such ferocity and terror. <<<<<<<<<< Seems thou that the Kings family is specifically mentioned in this quote (i dont have the book)... was it limited as a kind of punishment to the close allies and family of this King ?
