June 1096 CE

Coloman, alarmed by these incidents, refuses to authorize the new crusaders who arrive under the leadership of one Count Emicho six weeks later to enter Hungary.

However, they break through the defensive lines and lay siege to Moson.

Coloman musters his armies, which causes a panic among the crusaders, enabling the garrison of the fortress to carry out a sortie and route the crusader bands.

According to Albert of Aix, contemporaneous Christians think that the Hungarians' victory over Count Emicho is a punishment that God had inflicted on the pilgrims, because they had massacred many Jews "rather from greed for their money than for divine justice".
