According to Albert of Aix, contemporaneous Christians thought that Emicho's defeat was a punishment that God inflicted on the pilgrims because they had massacred many Jews "rather from greed for their money than for divine justice".
Menurut Albert d'Aix, umat Kristen kontemporer menganggap bahwa kekalahan Emicho adalah hukuman yang dijatuhkan Tuhan pada para peziarah karena mereka telah membantai banyak orang Yahudi "daripada karena keserakahan atas uang mereka daripada keadilan Ilahi".
