King Peter plans to flee again to …
Years: 1046 - 1046
King Peter plans to flee again to the Holy Roman Empire, but András invites him to a meeting at Székesfehérvár.
Soon realizing that András's envoys actually want to arrest him, the deposed king flees to a fortified manor at Zámoly, but his opponent's supporters seize it and capture him three days later.
All fourteenth-century Hungarian chronicles attest that Peter was blinded, which caused his death.
However, the near-contemporary Cosmas of Prague relates that Judith of Schweinfurt, widow of Duke Bretislaus I of Bohemia who was expelled by her son, fled to Hungary and married Peter about 1055 "as an insult to" her son "and all the Czechs".
If the latter report is reliable, Peter survived his mutilation and died during the late 1050s.
He is in any case buried in the cathedral of Pécs.
András, as the oldest brother, pronounces himself king.
