Pavel Georgiev (Shumen)

Summary
The author re-examines the matters about Simeon (893-927) being
inherited by his son Peter I (927-969). The Bulgarian historians who are
specialized in Medieval Bulgarian history trusted unreservedly and accepted the
list of the tsars sons presented by the Byzantine chroniclers. That misled them
and made them believe that the right to succeed to the throne was gained by Peter
after the first-born son of Simeon Michael (according to the author between 922
and 925) became a monk. Peter was Simeons son from his second marriage with
the sister of the powerful George Sursuvul.
The researchers have found so far molybdobuls with title heir (@
p [) not only for Michael but also for Joan, as any with the name of
Peter are absent which raises doubts whether Joan was not the second son and
with the right to gain the throne after Michael. This possibility could explain the
revolts recorded in the historical resources, led by Joan and Michael against the
rule of tsar Peter.
As a proof for the Joans right to succeed to the Bulgarian throne the
author quoted a text from the first service of the stated as a saint tsar Peter. There
is pointed out that he became a ruler after he had outrun his brothers like the
Bible tsar David. This hypothesis support the data from the stamps and from
other sources and shows us that the three elder sons of Simeon: Michael, Joan
and less probably Veneamin (Bayan), were from his first marriage, as only his
youngest son Peter was born by the sister of George Sursuvul.
After a comparative analysis and after obtaining data from the passional
of Maria Nova, the author concludes that Bulia archon, assigned ruler of Visa by
Simeon together with his men, was actually Boil tsars tarkan. According to
Constantine Bagrenorodni, the title resided in the second
son of the Bulgarian ruler. On this ground, the author identifies the commander
of the garrison of Visa and the head f the administration, conquered by the
Bulgarian troops after 917 in Eastern Thracia with the second son of Simeon
Joan. According to the hagiographical story, he was deselected by Simeon as the
author links this fact with the first change in the succession to the throne when
Michael became a monk and Joan became from boila-tarkan kana irthi tuin.
This event dates back approximately to the years 922 and 925.
The illness of Simeon in 927 was used by George Sursuvul as an
argument to persuade the old tsar to announce his nephew Peter as
D, i.e pushed ahead (ahead of his brothers) ruler.
This had the features of a palace coup, which quickly led to a change of
front in the Bulgarian external and internal politics in 927.
