Emicho, Count of Kyrburg

Emicho was a Rhineland count of the Emichones kindred, holding Kyrburg and Schmidtburg and attested in charters from 1086 to 1113. Genealogies name him the father of Gerlach I, first count of Veldenz.

He may have been the same man as Emich of Flonheim, who raised a host for the People's Crusade in 1096 and led the massacre of the Jewish community of Mainz, the worst of the Rhineland massacres. His army marched on toward Hungary but broke up in clashes there, and he returned home in disgrace.
