Opposing the legitimists, a hastily assembled group of Budapest university students—organized by Gyula Gömbös on October 22—attempted to resist Charles IV’s advancing forces. Despite lacking trained officers, their armed clash at Törökugrató with royal troops on October 23 resulted in casualties on both sides and effectively halted the royalist advance, as the attackers overestimated the defenders’ strength.
