Enravota
Saint Enravota () or Voin (Воин, "warrior") or Boyan (given name), Boyan (Боян) was the eldest son of Omurtag of Bulgaria and the first Bulgarian Christianity, Christian martyr, as well as the earliest Bulgarian saint to be canonized. Born in the early 9th century, Enravota was the elder brother of Malamir of Bulgaria, who succeeded their father Omurtag to the Bulgarian throne in 831. Enravota was possibly deprived of the throne because he favoured Christianity, which the boyars feared might endanger the court. Not long after the death of Omurtag, Enravota asked his brother to release a pious Byzantine Empire, Byzantine captive who had been imprisoned by Omurtag. The captive's sermons persuaded Enravota to convert to Christianity and be baptism, baptized. Once informed of his brother's deeds, Malamir attempted to make him renounce Christianity, but did not succeed. Enravota was killed on the order of Malamir, around 833. 11th-century chronicler Theophylact of Bulgaria claim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Boyan (given Name)
Boyan () is a Slavic male given name. The short form of the name ''Boyan'' used in Bulgaria is ''Bobi'' or ''Bobby'' (Bulgarian: Боби). Its female equivalent is ''Boyana'' (Bulgarian: Бояна). In present days it is used as a given name in Bulgaria written as ''Boyan'' (Bulgarian: ''Боян''), and also in all countries of former Yugoslavia, mainly written as ''Bojan'' (Serbian and Macedonian: Бојан)/(Slovenian/Croatian: Bojan). The name is recorded in historical sources among the Bulgarians, and also among Serbs, Czechs, Poles, Croats, Slovenians, Macedonians, Ukrainians and Russians. Etymology There is some discussion as to where the name ''Boyan'' comes from. It is generally accepted that it is derived from the word ''бой-'' (''boy-''), which means "battle", and the suffix ''-ан'' (''-an'') which is common in Bulgarian and other Slavic names. Together, ''Boyan'' (''Боян'') means "warrior" or "fighter". It is also considered as a possibility from the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Omurtag Of Bulgaria
Omurtag (or Omortag) (died 831) also known as Murtag or Murtagon (; Веселин Бешевлиев, Първобългарски надписи. 2ed. София 1992. Chapter: VI. Възспоменателни надписи, Inscriptio) was a Great Khan (''Kanasubigi'') of First Bulgarian Empire, Bulgaria from 814 to 831. He is known as "the Builder". In the very beginning of his reign he signed a Byzantine–Bulgarian Treaty of 815, 30-year peace treaty with the neighboring Byzantine Empire which remained in force to the end of his life. Omurtag successfully coped with the aggressive policy of the Frankish Empire to take Bulgaria's north-western lands and suppressed the unrest among several Early Slavs, Slavic tribes. He made administrative reforms which increased the power and the authority of the central government. His reign was marked with a strong development of Bulgarian architecture with a number of significant construction projects. Rise to the throne After the death ...

Malamir Of Bulgaria
Malamir () (died 836) was the ruler of Bulgaria in 831–836. Malamir was a son of Omurtag and a grandson of Krum. His name may be of Slavic origin, which would make him the first Bulgar khan to possess a Slavic name; this has led to the speculation that his mother was a Slav, although that cannot be proven. Another theory is that it was an Iranian name, as there is an Iranian city named Malamir. Malamir became ruler of Bulgaria in 831 on the death of his father Omurtag, because his older brother Enravota (Voin) had forfeited his right to the succession by becoming a Christian. It is possible that Malamir was young and inexperienced at the time of his accession, and that affairs of state were managed by his '' kavhan'' (''kaukhanos'') Isbul. About 833, Malamir executed his brother Enravota for refusing to renounce Christianity. After the expiration of the original 30-year peace treaty with the Byzantine Empire in 836, emperor Theophilos ravaged the regions inside the Bulga ...
