There are two types of Roman and later Byzantine generals. 1.: Competent. Will most likely overthrow you. 2.: Completely incompent. Might still try to overthrow you.

I've always wondered how it was humanly possible to be that incompetent as the Angelos dynasty was.

Fun Fact: Stefan Nemanja was the second of a series of twelve Stefans in a row. Between 1166-1355 the ruler of Serbia was always named Stefan.

Everyone: Will you stop trying to replace emperors and sending armies only to be massacred? Eastern Rome: No.

Watched like 5-6 videos of Bulgarian history (different time period) and there is always ambush/narrow path major victories, these guys took this type of war to another level

Seriously: how did the Byzantine Empire managed to survive for that long? They walked from disaster into disaster constantly.

My hometown is Tryavna. about 2 km from the city is the place where the battle took place and there is a large statue in honor of the battle. Also in the center of the city is the church built by Tsar Assen in honor of the victory over Byzantium in 1190 and to this day is a functioning church and can anyone who wants to come in and light a candle!
