Tsar Peter (927-969), this book's protagonist, is all too
frequently presented in modern scholarship as a weak ruler, devoid
of any grander political aspirations, and focused on religious
matters-pious, but neglecting the vital interests of his subjects.
It was said that during his reign both his court and state became
Byzantinized, that central authority was completely helpless in the
face of Hungarian raids, and saw the spread of the Bogomilist
heresy. According to the Tsar's critics, it was as a result of his
ineffectual rule that Boris II, his son and successor, was unable
to defend Bulgaria's sovereignty in 971. This book-the first
monograph devoted to Peter-was written by Bulgarian (Miliana
Kaymakamova, Georgi N. Nikolov, Angel Nikolov, and Nikolay
Hrissimov) and Polish medievalists (Zofia A. Brzozowska, Miroslaw
J. Leszka, Kiril Marinow, and Jan M. Wolski). Thanks to a thorough
analysis of the sources and an in-depth knowledge of the literature
of the subject, they have constructed a comprehensive and balanced
image of the reign of their protagonist and the role he played in
the history of medieval Bulgaria.
