THE BULGARIAN ROAD TO THE SO-CALLED VARNA

An Anonymous Devna Story (Part One)

... In about the year 665 Asparuh - the third Oglon (Son) of Kubrat the Wise, crossed the Dnieper and Dniester rivers with his leading column, captured the ancient fortress town of Istron in the Danube delta and settled there with his Dulo clan. At that time the Bulgarians were pagans and he - the cunning, crafty and Wise (Madar) Son of Kubrat was their Herald (Preacher). The place of Istron was known for its strong fortifications, its excellent natural protection from the surrounding water, and the extremely difficult for fighting heavily armed troops surrounding marshes, moors and ghizalats. In about 6 years, Asparuh rebuilt the town buildings and the citadel wall. It is widely known that in 680 Emperor Constantine IV Pogonatus organized a military campaign against Asparuh, leading a significant military force by land and a small naval combat formation. The Bulgarians, sensing that the Romans were about to attack them, calmly and without panic took refuge in their beautifully defended island location and occupied their assigned positions for defense. For four days they did not allow the Romans to set foot on the island. Sporadic fighting took place along the coastline and in the vast marshes. The Romans were unable to carry out a massive naval landing because their fleet proved small. Every Roman attempt to disembark was repulsed by the Bulgarians, who fought in a highly organized and self-sacrificing manner. All the Bulgarian men and women, riflemen, volunteers and volunteers, were ready to die and fought very successfully. The coastal area, the rocks, the large boulders and the marshes were insurmountable for the Roman commanders and fighters. The Bulgarian cavalry maneuvered all over the island and successfully defended the coastline in any attempted sea incursion. In the marshes, lightly armed and highly mobile Bulgarian fighters suddenly sprang out of the reeds and from the swamps, killing, drowning and defeating the heavily mobile Roman mercenaries. At night, on the big bank, in the steppe, the Bulgarian cavalry would attack the completely idle and downright useless Roman cavalry in the rear, wounding, killing and capturing the Roman horsemen and then quickly and successfully retreating and evading pursuit back, inland into the steppe. The Emperor learned with great pain that the Romans he found every morning killed by the Bulgarians had their eyes gouged out. All these setbacks lowered the fighting spirit of the Romans, demoralised the Roman commanders and soldiers, and the Emperor"s military campaign was about to meet with an ugly failure. On the fourth evening three Bulgarian parliamentarians arrived on the emperor"s yacht. They conveyed to the Emperor Constantine IV Pogonatus a greeting from Asparuh and assured him that the Oglon sincerely wished to live in peace and concord with him, his empire and his peoples. They stressed that Asparuh, like his wise father Kubrat, respected the Romans, that he was ready to occupy the sparsely populated territory from the Danube to Mount Hem and, after a special treaty, to take over the defence of Byzantium from attacks from the North. Asparuh assured the emperor that on the northern arm of the Danube more than 300,000 Bulgarians and his allies were waiting for his signal; that they were in full readiness to cross the river and head for the areas designated by Asparuh for them in the Danubian foothills. They told him that His Majesty Asparuh wanted peace, not war. They assured him that Asparuh believed in the prudence and goodness of the emperor and his people. Before daybreak an agreement was reached on the plan proposed by the Bulgarians and at dawn the Emperor sailed for Nessebar. The need to treat the Emperor"s acute pain in his legs was a slight of hand concocted by his advisers to quell the dissatisfaction of the Constantinople imperial elite with the lost war against the barbarians. Thus laid the foundation for the accelerated and panicked retreat of the Romans to Constantinople. Asparuh and his vanguard chased the Romans on their heels, and without a fight, and without further casualties, they reached t. Varna (the former city of Marcianopolis). According to the agreement with the emperor they settled there, making the same the capital of Asparuh Bulgaria. How this happened, we shall find out in the second part of this interesting story, which has been completely erased from Bulgarian popular memory during the five centuries of Turkish rule... ДИЕБИ

This narrative came to light at the very sad end of 2021, when it passed unnoticed the 1340th year of the First European State once called Danubian (Devna) Bulgaria!
