It is decided to divide Saxony into mission districts, whereby the mission is to be carried out by Anglo-Saxon preachers, among other things . A number of Saxons present are baptized , but Duke Widukind stays away from the meeting; he goes to the Danish king to ask him for support against the Franks .
