We read in the ancient chronicles, that in the
year 1135, several persons were burnt alive by the
Emperor Lotharius, at Treves and Utrecht; concerning
which the Chron. Sax., in particular, expressly
mentions, that they were burnt as heretics.
However, in what their alleged heresy consisted, is
not clearly expressed. This, however, is certain:
that they separated from the Roman church, and
opposed her errors.

Abraham Mellinus concludes, from the circumstances
mentioned with regard to them, that they
were Berengarians, or followers of Berengarius.
“For,” says he, “the reader must know, that after
Berengarius’ death very many were condemned as
heretics, simply because they had the same belief
with Berengarius, respecting the Lord’s Supper,
and opposed the bread-god of the mass.” Second
book, fol. 395, col. 3, from Chron. Sax.
