against byzantine yoke. by usingthe enmity between bulgaria and byzantium, the hordes of the â²v crusadeinvade the balkan peninsula. the fate of the balkan people depends on theirmutual understanding. they're coming, milord! milord! wild geese, milord! they're flying away, winterhas came early beyond the danube. they're flying low. should welie in wait for them at the ridge?

belgun! stop! there could be romanscouts behind the rocks! down there is zagore! how much longer will we stopour horses amidst bulgarian land? it would've been easy,milord, if we were birds! they'll land at the swampsnear adrianople for the night. who'll race me? i give you, bolyar,100 paces headstart! a hundred!

kaloyan! they killed tsar petar! my brother!him as well! i'll kill them all!all of them! praise be to tsar kaloyan! death to the conspirators! lord, forgive your servant,the sinful mateitsa! give us the kingslayer alive!- shut up, you oafs! what tsars were his brothers?!they were bolyars, like us!

what tsar is he,if he hides like a mouse?! silence, murderer!- wait! here i am! what are you looking at? you'llstand here soon as well! who will recognizeyour crown?! only those bootlickersover there! push him, ugay!kill him! three great bolyars rose theirhand against the tsar's power! mateitsa told uswhat they wanted!

to sell us to the romans! to our enemies, who still holdhalf of the bulgarian land under yoke! but mistaken are those who thinkit won't be ours once again! and three places around the tableof the bolyar's council are now empty! i decided they should be taken by... dragota of cherven. strezimir of vratitsa. the roman cavalry has invadedhundred hills! it's besieging ovech! a campaign against us?- let's raise the alarm!

i'll find out about it!- mihail, umen, izmerin! come on! go on, you old...- valkan of ovech! for your health,great bolyars! is it a campaign, milat?- the romans know that fishes arecaught in turbid waters! shall i gather the army?- no! what if that'sexactly what they want?! to get us scared!

so the turmoil would grow! we'll have the bolyarsgather their forces! all right! but what if they alsogo against me?! no! no. don't tell anyoneuntil we find out more! let the tumult subside!let the people be calm! what if they're headingtowards tarnov?!

we'll be on our guard! but we need patience! to find outwhat's going on, who's trustworthy! let's go to the dining roomand drink with the bolyars! to have a laugh, as ifthere are no problems! bring me the bolyar of ovech! the tsar is calling for you! five hundred! doesn't valkan want too much? i'm making him a great bolyar,i'll give him help when he needs it!

it's too much!- it's easy for the courtier! the tsar's table is near him!"come on, i'm ready to gather them!" you go yourself, then we'll see howmany peasants you'll gather to work! after the revolt everyone thinks that...- all right! may it be as you wish! but i want a strong fortress! as if you're building itfor yourself! find knyaz boril, to giveyou 500 gold coins! the way you're building, the romanswill catch you defenseless!

what can i finish it with?i have no money left! how much have you spent so far?- everything i received. here! god is my witness!- you're lying! i don't need to accountanything to you! the tsar still has200 gold coins to give me. it's your people from zlokuchaneto blame if something happens! they all ran away!- ran away? to work your fields! you want a fortress, but giveneither money, nor people!

the tsar's warband stays here.and you'll continue building! the tsar gives youa month's time! valkan has stopped building.he wants 200 more gold coins. i'll go to him.- if you fall for it... force him!you made him a great bolyar! for the romans even1000 gold coins are nothing. valkan will sell himselfto them, if i press him. your brother petar used to say:"if samuil had hard pressed his bolyars, bulgaria wouldn't have died."

then make them gather an armyand we'll strike at varna, while the romans think we're weak!- varna is a strong fortress. i saw it while i was being takento constantinople as a hostage. its walls are higher than ours. we need a trained army for them. we need time! we need to train at least onebulgarian for every third roman! do you understand? we just need to beone to three,

and then "onwards to varna", belgun! i'll get him his 200 gold coins.i can't do anything else now. i'm buying him like a mercenary!as if he's not a bulgarian! but what could i do withoutpeace with the bolyars? my tsar! you know, my father and brothers, with half the people of zlokuchane, diedfighting the romans and conspirators. make their village free! so with one hand i'm giving him powerand with the other i'm taking his lands!

i can't!- what do they want? a handful of land! they've workedhard for it their whole life. give it to them! as if you're giving it to me! let them get rid of the wolf! but they should help withthe construction work! we should all prepare! all of us! only a hundred, milord!knyaz boril gave them!

give it to him!- this is left from your brothers. even 100 gold coins aretoo much for valkan! send it! take it! dobrilo, you're sleeping, huh?sleeping? hold this! you should've been bornas a stable boy, huh, belgun? we'll ride tomorrow! is your soul yearningfor it, too?

wake me up when it burns out! i have work to do! hit the shield thrice, and then go prepare belgun! the bolyar! who was it?- mladen! a boy of ours, from zlokuchene!- come on, continue carrying! where to, milord?- to the steep rocks! it's been foggy for three days now!you can't see a thing!

and, you know, the romansdestroyed the old road! come on, swiftly!- we're a tsar's village now, milord! milord, some cumans have arrived! khan manastar himselfis leading them! what is it? what's happened? the magyars defeated me!i'm coming to ask for help! come!- wait! there's my sister, chichek!- give her a room in the palace!

you've been a loyal allyof my brothers! but i can't give you help now! everything's messed up hereafter the revolt! hold them off for another month,until i gather an army! i can't decide by myself! a thousandof our horsemen have died! the magyars are strong! i'll want peace from them! let them stop as faras they've advanced! i need my forces against the romans!

they don't acknowledge your crown! they'll say, as they did to your brothers,that the bulgarians have no tsardom! i'll ally myself with the germans!- catholics! they're quarreling with the magyars now,but if pope innocent lifts his finger, they'll go against you,together with them! before they reach the danube,the magyars will set tarnov on fire! they're strong! hold them off for one more month,then i'll give you anything you want! you can see,winter is coming!

i have a week's time! if i don'treturn with help in 7 days, my people will lookfor new lands! what?! you want to breakour alliance?! if the gods decide so! can i sleep?i'm tired! go! good night! has the protostrator milatpassed by? i haven't seen him, milord!

pretend i'm inside! valkan has ran awaywith the gold! they've violated your decree! now the romans will laugh!"look how rich the bulgarian tsar is, giving away his candlesticks!" we're cowards! we should fight totake varna, not build fortresses! what about the magyars?the cumans are fleeing. manastar has came for help.- what? so the wolf has found out,that's why he's running!

let them run! may our land becleansed of cowards! they don't believe in our people'sstrength! they think i'm weak! they think our country's dying. not only the candlesticks,but i'll give even my horse! i myself will burn outlike a candle! but our land willlast forever! when has he fled?- the other night! i'll catch him! his scraggy horsewon't pass easily through the passes!

milord, they've stoppedin the steep rocks vale! you've forgotten it inmy room last night! it's good he hasn'tforgotten his head as well! and you, princess, did you askyour brother about following us? who's this?- the protostrator milat! my trusted aide and friend! then know this, protostrator, the cumanprincesses are equal to the princes! 20 000 cuman swordsfollow her and her brother! this ring canbind them tightly!

thank you for the honour, milord! but be careful not to followhis path as well! milord!- go, go! before i was a tsar, i thought weonly need to go down and reach zagore! but only people like valkancan go down such a road! we'll take another one! and you must go first! to rome! the cumanswon't hold out for long. and the pope stands behind the magyars.they'll keep quiet if he agrees with us!

and then...to varna! as you wish - to take it by force! what will we give him? a handfulof gold coins and a candlestick! creed is more important for him!- to become catholics?! why should only the popetrade with faith? god help us! yes! that's him! father dominic, here's the letterto the magyar king! he'll relinquishkaloyan's lands!

from hungary you'll head for tarnov,as a legate of the holy pope! and the bulgarian messenger? protostrator milat will be released andsent with honours to varna by sea. once kaloyan sees his hands untied,he'll strike at the romans, to free his lands! there should be fights betweenthe danube and the aegean, once the warriors of the holy popeset off on a crusade! remember! the lands between the danubeand the aegean are like this door. they lead to countless treasuresand glory for the holy see.

two kingdoms guard that road -bulgarians and romans! if they unite, there will beno path for the crusading army! that's why there should never bea union between bulgarians and romans! for the lord's greater glory! tsar kaloyan gives youtime until sunset! give us the keysand you'll stay alive! come to the fortress and swear beforethe people of varna you say the truth! brothers! brothers!beat them up!

welcome! i'm the legate ofthe pope to the tsar! commander!- kaloyan! i took varna!i took it! wasn't i right, huh?- a hero! did you wear that in the fight?- a gift from the pope! well, tell me! you've grown old! what took you so long?

i was captured near venice. first theytortured me, then dressed me in gold! who?- the knights. knights?! what? hasn't his grace,the papal legate, told you? the pope has sent you one armourand a thousand to them! and more are coming.a new crusade is on the way. they'll passthrough constantinople. dominic hasn't said a word till nowthat a crusade is gathering! they're hiding!- let them hide!

it's to our advantage! when are they leaving? soon, it seems.- good! we'll also go, as they pass!we'll take zagore! gather the bolyar's council! praise be to them!- praise them! praise doesn't feed us, my tsar!many hungry mouths are waiting. how many?- half the people of zlokuchane. the romans are strong, milord!

what?!are you afraid?! we'll tear down even constantinople itself!- do you know how many castles are there? they'll put such crossesbefore each one! how many are you?- only we here are left! the council is gathered, milord!- take these things off! i'll ask for a peacewith the romans. what?! peace? thousands of warriors fell here!the romans are still strong!

and the knights might not go soon. theyprepared the third crusade for so long! what about zagore? now the romans will belike us before varna! between two fires! if they learnthe knights are going against them, they'll give us zagore withouta fight, to keep their back! isn't that so? what if the pope learns? listen,you shouldn't pull this devil's tail! there's no one to tell him,besides dominic! dobrilo! find knyaz boril! let himkeep the papal legate in his tent!

bury them out!all of them! what is the tsar doing? pope innocent has gatheredknights for a new crusade. they'll pass through constantinople. they offer me a union. if i agree,i'll easily crush your back. we'll hit you so hard, you'llscatter around like sea-gulls! i want peace with you! recognize my crownand give us zagore back! you were a hostagein constantinople, weren't you?

i was! for three years! then you haven't learnedanything from us, barbarian! go and tell what you heard!protostrator milat will accompany you! i'll wait for a month! and the campaign south?i've promised my men plunder! take the loot from here! you'll plunder bulgariansin the south, manastar! what about us?i gave food, horses! split it with manastar!

you see, we can't get onwith this one either! that's your own business!- it's the sin of people like ugay! you deserve it! when you were in the court,you also barked against the bolyars! but you see now howeasy it is to be one?! go now and defend the tsar again! what's your reward?a cracked skull! if the knights come,you'll be left without it! how is dominic?- in bed, tenth day already. here, read!- from the romans?

no! milat hasn't returned yet! read! read, read! see if i've made itofficial enough! it's not "pious",but "holy" pope. so you've decided! good!you're doing well! what do we lose?we enter the bosom of the west. the vatican is all-powerful!knowledge, conduct! strength!and the romans? let's go tell dominic!- be quiet!

oh, if the romans were smart enoughto agree to an alliance with us! then the vatican would seeour knowledge! and our strength!- and this? we might need it, involuntarily. the knights are dogs, but ifthe romans refuse, what would we do? you're lying the holy church!- give me 100 gold coins! what?- i'll send a gift to pope innocent. to buy off my sin!- i don't have! you know i don't! send him relics! send him the relicsof st. ivan of rila!

the knights have left rome!the new crusade has begun! that's what they gathered for.they had to leave some day. but what are the romanshoping for? are they mad?! don't they understandwe should be united now? it seems they're thinking otherwise.they're negotiating with the pope. they've got it wrong this time! wouldthe knights leave them to take us on? what do we have?! i'm seeking100 gold coins as a gift for the pope! and constantinople is all in gold!

did you see it?- i saw it! the romans will buythemselves off! why did i lose so much time? dominic could've beenin rome by now! we should've meta long time ago, father! i've written the letter tothe holy pope long ago as well! give the holy fathermy humble reverence! tell him i wait night and dayfor his blessing to illuminate me! dobrilo!
