Well, if some Polovcy (Kumans) joined Bulgars, its possible that some Bulgars could be "yellow" in terms of hair color. . Kumans means probably "yellow hair people" in ugro-altaic languages.

Actually the action of blinding the Bulgarian soldiers is said to have been a lenient form of punishment, since treason was punished by death.

Actually Bulgaria has been ruling by Kumans dynasty - Terter /Eagle/. And quite Kumans have settled in Bulgaria!

I've answered to you but not in english! Yes Bulgarians had them in right. The first tsar from this dynasty - Geogre I Terter was one of most powerful boliars in Bulgaria at this time and others boliars hoped that he could stop Ivailo /or Ivailo's uprising/. His son Teodor Svetoslav is one of the greatest Bulgarians tsars. Actually kumans were used as allies from most of Bulgarian tsars - Asen I, Kalo'an, Ivan Asen II and etc. They populeted territories of today's south Romania and until 12 century this territories were part of Bulgaria.

In a Bulgarian song is said:"beutiful girl,kuman girl".

This can be sign that kumans were high,blond and beautiful people.I'am also blond-brown.And a big percent of bulgars+macedonian bulgars are blond or with brown hairs.

Salan or Zalan was, according to the Gesta Hungarorum, a Bulgarian Duke who ruled in the territory of present day Vojvodina in the 9th century. He ruled in the territory of Backa, between Danube and Tisa rivers and capital city of his Dukedom was Titel.

He was vassal of Bulgaria, but we cant say for sure was he of Bulgarian origin or from local Slavic population. It is possible that he was descendant of Great Kean, a Bulgarian ruler who conquered territory between Danube and Tisa.

His name might not be real. There is theory that his name means "the salt man", so it could be a name given to him by the authors of the chronicles, describing the role he had: supplying salt for his suzerain (Simeon the Great, Bulgarian Emperor).

At the time of Hungarian conquest (in 896), Bulgarian Emperor Simeon came to the aid to Duke Salan and even the Byzantine Emperor sent auxiliary troops against the Hungarians. Hungarians defeated Bulgarians and Byzantines in the early 10th century and Dukedom of Salan fall under Hungarian rule.

Main historical source about duke Salan is historical chronicle known as Gesta Hungarorum, written by Peter, a high priest in Buda, during the time of Hungarian King Bela III in the late 12th century. The 10th century Lombard chronicler, Liudprand, also wrote about a Hungarian victory over Bulgarians and Byzantines in the early 10th century.

------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------

This is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalan

There you could see an image of his province. For sure it doesn't sound like a slavic name.

1. The only source.

2. The Gesta Hungarorum is not a chronicle. It is a gesta, which is genre of literature. Basically it is the medieval form of historical novel.

Ok Raider,

I see you are from Hungary.

How would you like to translate the Anonymus Gesta Hungarorum into English? I would be happy to pay you. I've been trying to find an English copy for several years but it's just not there.

Here is a  Hungarian version: http://mek.oszk.hu/02200/02245/02245.htm

Or if anyone knows of primary sources for the Bulgarian Emperor that conquered north of the Danube prior to the Magyars arrival?

Thanks.
