Dynastic changes are normal, and no king can rule all the time, and this is true of countries at home and abroad, without exception. Do you know about the Bulgarian Empire? It swept almost the whole of Europe in its heyday, and today I will tell you about it.
In 682, the Bulgarians established their own state in the coastal areas, and slowly, as their national strength grew stronger, they began to be dissatisfied with the status quo and expanded their territory by conquest everywhere.
At its peak, the Bulgarian Empire was already huge and ranked first in every way. But at the same time, other countries began to rise, and the Bulgarian Empire began to weaken. In 1018, the Bulgarian Empire was destroyed by the Byzantine Empire.
After Bulgaria was invaded by the Byzantines, the Bulgarians became the slaves of the Byzantines, who were the lowest, without dignity, and without the glory of the past.
Finally, the Bulgarians began to be unable to stand it, and they tried to escape, but many of them were unsuccessful, but one of them, a man named Heristo, managed to escape, and with 17 women, fled into the mountains. Freed from control, they began to live in the mountains.
It is not easy for a man to take care of 17 women, and The difficulty of Heristo is also seen by these 17 women, remembered in their hearts, and in order to repay Christo, they become his women and give him children.
More than a decade later, Heristo had a large number of wives and children, and the cave in the deep mountains could not make them have a better life, so they decided to live in a town.
Hundreds of years later, in 1185, the Byzantine Empire fell into chaos, and Peter Assen (older brother) and Ivan Assen (younger brother), who had Heristo blood, decided to take revenge for the destruction of the country, so they called on the people of the town to organize an uprising, and the people of the town were all related by blood, and naturally agreed, after which they began to rebel against the rule of the Byzantine Empire.
In 1187, Peter Assen established the Second Bulgarian Empire and began to expand its territory. At the beginning, 1 man and 17 women, I am afraid that I never dreamed that the Bulgarian Empire would rise again in the hands of their descendants.
