With European forces gathering for the First Crusade, Count Emich of Leisengen led a large force east from the Rhine, attacking Jews on the way. Refused passage through Hungary by King Coloman, the Crusaders besieged the fortress of Wieselburg, east of Amstetten in Austria, where they were destroyed in full battle by Hungarian troops. Some of the survivors later joined the main Crusade.
