Asparukh o Isperih fue el gobernante de una tribu protobúlgara en la segunda mitad del siglo VII, y a él se le atribuye la fundación del Primer Imperio búlgaro en torno al año 680. Es el más famoso entre los jefes protobúlgaros. La aplicación del título eslavo Kanas, tanto a él como a sus sucesores, es objeto de disputa hoy en día. Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument 10

Krum and sons. Krum was the Khan of Bulgaria from sometime between 796 and 803 until his death in 814. During his reign the Bulgarian territory doubled in size, spreading from the middle Danube to the Dnieper and from Odrin to the Tatra Mountains. His able and energetic rule brought law and order to Bulgaria and developed the rudiments of state organization. Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument 20

Krum and sons. Krum gobernó Bulgaria después del kynaz Kardam, fundando una nueva dinastía, entre el año 803 y hasta su fallecimiento. Hay hipótesis sobre su origen; una presume que su familia procedía de los protobúlgaros panónicos. Fue el primer gobernante que llevó el título de Kanas u bigi (Kanas en Dio). Las descripciones de historiadores bizantinos hicieron que adquiriera una reputación de crueldad y barbarie. Sin embargo, posteriormente, se convirtió en realce de sabiduría. Krum fue uno de los más grandes monarcas medievales búlgaros. Durante su gobierno Bulgaria reforzó su posición en los Balcanes y en Europa, gracias a sus numerosas victorias en el campo de batalla. Krum comenzó a involucrar a los eslavos en el poder, aprobando las primeras leyes en el estado búlgaro3 y comenzó la reforma administrativa. Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument 21

Boris I de Bulgaria. Adoptó la religión católica de rito oriental bizantino (en ese tiempo, no existía el cisma católico ortodoxo y la Iglesia de rito oriental estaba en comunión con la sede de Roma), con la finalidad de unir a los búlgaros y eslavos bajo una sola religión, haciendo un sincretismo con las religiones tradicionales de sus pueblos. Los búlgaros creían en Tengri y los eslavos a Perun, cada uno profesaba su religión a su manera en las fechas correspondientes. Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument 27

Tzar Simeon and his army. Tsar Simeon ruled over Bulgaria from 893 to 927, during the First Bulgarian Empire. Simeon's successful campaigns against the Byzantines, Magyars and Serbs led Bulgaria to its greatest territorial expansion ever, making it the most powerful state in contemporary Eastern and Southeast Europe. His reign was also a period of unmatched cultural prosperity and enlightenment later deemed the Golden Age of Bulgarian culture. Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument 30

Tzar Simeon and his army. Simeón I, llamado Simeón el Grande, fue zar (emperador) del Primer Imperio búlgaro (925-927) y un soberano guerrero que hizo de su corte un centro cultural. Educado en Constantinopla (actual Estambul), Simeón sucedió a su padre, Boris I, en 893 después del breve reinado de su hermano mayor, Vladimir. Su ambición dominante, que fue ascender al trono imperial de Bizancio, una aspiración compartida así mismo por muchos zares búlgaros posteriores, condujo a Simeón a embarcarse en muchas guerras con el Imperio bizantino (894, 896, 913, 917, 923). Nunca consiguió tomar Constantinopla, a pesar de que estuvo varias veces a su merced, pero tomó para sí el título de «zar de todos los búlgaros» (925) y también declaró el Arzobispado autónomo búlgaro como autocéfalo y lo elevó a la categoría de Patriarcado. En los Balcanes, extendió el poder de Bulgaria sobre el sur de Macedonia, el sur de Albania, y Serbia, que se convirtieron en sus vasallos; pero el dominio búlgaro al norte del Danubio se perdió probablemente durante su reinado. Simeón se casó dos veces y dejó cuatro hijos, de los cuales el mayor de su segundo matrimonio, Pedro I, lo sucedió. Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument 32
