He recalled that according to the chroniclers, the mythical origins of Hungarians is the dream of Emese. According to the myth, the princess saw a divine dream in the appearance of a turul. She felt that a spring comes from her womb, gurgling from her groin into a huge stream on a foreign land. The fruit of the celestial vision was Álmos, and his offsprings were truly holy kings. His mission was to gather related peoples, unite them, and "recapture the fruits of their ancestors" in the Carpathian Basin. His sixth grandchild, Vajk fulfilled his mission.
