The Mercians captured Eadberht, put out his eyes and cut off his hands, and led him in chains to Mercia, where according to later tradition he was imprisoned at Winchcombe, a religious house closely affiliated with Coenwulf's family.
Os mercios capturaron a Eadberht, cegando os seus ollos e cortándolle as mans, e levouno encadeado cara a Mercia, onde segundo unha tradición máis tardía foi encarcerado en Winchcombe, unha casa relixiosa estreitamente afiliada coa familia de Coenwulf.
