[Footnote 98: Besides the massacres and transmigrations, the
pain of death was pronounced against the following crimes:
1. The refusal of baptism. 2. The false pretence of
baptism. 3. A relapse to idolatry. 4. The murder of a
priest or bishop. 5. Human sacrifices. 6. Eating meat in
Lent. But every crime might be expiated by baptism or
penance, (Gaillard, tom. ii. p. 241 - 247;) and the
Christian Saxons became the friends and equals of the
Franks, (Struv. Corpus Hist. Germanicae, p.133.)]
