Years: 1096 - 1096
May
Emicho arrives on May 29 at Cologne, where most Jews had already left or were hiding in Christian houses.
The Bishop later escorts them to towns under his protection.
In Cologne, other smaller bands of crusaders meet Emicho, and they leave with quite a lot of money taken from the Jews here.
Emicho continues towards Hungary, soon joined by some Swabians.
