Boris II of Bulgaria

Boris II was a medieval Bulgarian ruler, the son of Tsar Boris I, who reigned around the late 10th and early 11th centuries. His reign was marked by political instability and external pressures, especially from the Byzantine Empire. Boris II is notable for his efforts to preserve Bulgaria’s independence amid these challenges. However, he was eventually captured by Byzantines, leading to his exile and the decline of Bulgarian sovereignty during that period. His rule reflects a turbulent era of Bulgarian history, characterized by struggles to maintain state stability and sovereignty amidst continuous external threats.
