Omurtag or Omortag (Bulgarian: Омуртаг) was ruler of Bulgaria from 814 to 831.
When Omurtag succeeded his father Krum, he may have been inexperienced, and the affairs of state may have been initially conducted by other members of the royal family, such as Dukum and Cok, who are recorded as persecutors of the Christians in the Byzantine sources. Omurtag's reign opened with an invasion of the Byzantine Empire after the rejection of Byzantine offers for peace. The Bulgarians penetrated as far south as modern Babaeski, but there they were defeated by Emperor Leo V the Armenian, and Omurtag escaped the battlefield on his swift horse. Krum (Bulgarian: ) (died April 13, 814) was ruler of Bulgaria, from after 796/ before 803 to 814. ...

Contemporary coin of Leo V. Leo V, surnamed The Armenian (775 – December 24, 820), was emperor of the Byzantine Empire from 813 to 820, after first distinguishing himself as a general in the reigns of Nicephorus I and Michael I Rhangabes. ...
Omurtag then concluded a 20-year peace treaty with the Byzantines in 815, which was inscribed on a surviving column. The two rulers had sworn to uphold the conditions of the treaty by each other's rites, which scandalized the Byzantine court. The treaty determined the trajectory of the border between Byzantium and Bulgaria, the status of the Slavic tribes, and the conditions for the exchange of prisoners. When the Byzantine throne was seized by Michael II in 820, the peace treaty was renewed, and Omurtag helped the emperor put down the rebellion of Thomas the Slav in 823 or 824. Michael II, called Psellus, the stammerer, or the Amorian (770-829) reigned as Byzantine emperor 820 - 829. ...
Thomas the Slav was originally a Byzantine military commander entrusted with a high command during the reign of Emperor Leo V the Armenian. ...
About the same time Omurtag turned his attention northwards. Memorial inscriptions set up for Omurtag's dead officials indicate that his jurisdiction and troops reached the river Dnieper in the east (campaigning against the Khazars or Magyars) and the Tisza in the west. In 818 the Slavic tribes of the Timočani, Abodrites, and Braničevci rebelled against the increasingly onerous Bulgarian suzerainty in the west and sought the support of the Frankish Emperor Louis the Pious. In 824 and 825 Omurtag approached the Frankish court with an attempt to seek a diplomatic resolution of the problem. Failing to gain Frankish co-operation, Omurtag issued an ultimatum in 826 and in 827 sent a fleet along the Danube, which restored Bulgarian control over portions of southeastern Pannonia. This article is about the river. ...

At home Omurtag undertook large scale construction, intended to both restore his capital Pliska, which had been destroyed by the Byzantines in 811, and to foster the development of a number of regional centers, palaces, and fortifications. Omurtag pursued policy of repression against Christians, in particular against the Byzantine prisoners of war settled by his father Krum in Bulgaria (mostly north of the Danube). This policy may have been motivated in part by the Byzantine invasion of 811 or with the beginning of Christian proselytizing by members of the substancial captive population. In connection with these policies, Omurtag disinherited his eldest son Enravota (Voin), who had shown himself sympathetic to Christianity. Inferences about Omurtag's policy towards the Slavs based on naming Slavic tribes among his enemies in one inscription or on the alleged Slavic names of his three sons are overly speculative.

The 17th century Volga Bulgar compilation Ja'far Tarikh (a work of disputed authenticity) represents Amurtag or Yomyrčak (i.e., Omurtag) as the son of Korym (i.e., Krum). (16th century - 17th century - 18th century - more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 17th century was that century which lasted from 1601-1700. ...
