Origins of the conflict

In 894 the Byzantines moved the market of Bulgarian goods from Constantinople to Solun which meant that the Bulgarian merchants were supposed to pay higher taxes. Insulted, Simeon I declared war on Byzantium. In the first battle in 894 the Byzantine army was completely defeated. Then they bribed the Magyars to attack Bulgaria in the rear. The Magyars managed to defeat the Bulgarian army twice but in 896 were decisively defeated by Boris I, who was a monk at that time, in the battle of Southern Buh. This enabled Simeon I to concentrate his army against the Byzantines. Births Deaths Events Northumbrians and East Angles swear allegiance to Alfred the Great. ...
