| Summary: |
"In The Asanids : the Political and Military History of the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185-1280), Alexandru Madgearu offers the first comprehensive history in English of a state which played a major role in the evolution of the Balkan region during Middle Ages. This state emerged from the rebellion of two peoples, Romanians and Bulgarians, against Byzantine domination, within a few decades growing to a regional power that entered into conflict with Byzantium and with the Latin Empire of Constantinople. The founders were members of a Romanian (Vlach) family, whose intention was to revive the former Bulgarian state, the only legitimate political framework that could replace the Byzantine rule"--Provided by publisher The sources -- The historiography -- A short view on Byzantium in the years before the uprising of the Vlachs and Bulgarians -- The beginning of the rebellion and the rise of the Vlach-Bulgarian State (1185-1188) -- Peter and Asan, 1189-1197 -- Johannitsa (1197-1207) -- Boril (1207-1218) -- John Asan II (1218-1241) -- The decline of the Asanid State (1241-1280) -- Fortifications -- Conclusions |
