Andreas Hümmel has marched into Saxony and laid siege to Hamburg in the name of the Kaiser! He has ordered the construction of one ram and two sets of ladders.
His herald addressed the garrison of the city as follows:
"Brave men of Saxony, your valour is well-renowned and your courage beyond dispute. Know this that none will think the less of you for laying down your arms and surrendering to me. I come in the name of Heinrich Salian, rightful Kaiser of the Romans, and Duke of Franconia. He has your best interests in heart, and I assure you that should you come over to him you shall be treated well.
I know your sense of loyalty to your duke. Indeed, Duke Magnus is known by the name of "Saxon". But I urge you that your loyalty has been sadly mistreated. Indeed, He led you against the Prince of the Danes, and slew him on the field of battle. Brave indeed, was he, to march boldly into battle. Yet his actions have now brought naught but destruction and devastation upon your lands and families. Even now, your duke cowers from the vengeful Danish king, who is intent on avenging the death of his son. Do not think that he will be able to save your wives and children from the merciless raiders of the north. Come over to me, and you will have the Imperial Army itself deliver you from this menace. And the Kaiser alone has the means to organise a lasting peace with the Danish court.
I urge you, noble sons of Saxony, do not let your lord led you and your families to destruction!"
