  Georgius Tzul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He appears only in the account of the Byzantine court historians Kedrenos and John Skylitzes, who place him at Kerch and calls him "khagan" (the title of the Khazar emperors).
Kedrenos states that he was captured by the expeditionary force but does not relate his ultimate fate.
Inscriptions and other references exist referring to a Tzul or Tsal clan in Crimea during this period; presumably he was a member although the relationship of that family to the original ruling dynasty of Khazaria is unknown.

Two Byzantine sources provide the basic documentation for the gathering, a late eleventh-century chronicle known as the Synopsis historion by the chronicler George Kedrenos and a twelfth-century work by John Zonaras, the Epitome historion.
Kedrenos and Zonaras were compilers of a type of historical compendium known as the universal chronicle.
Kedrenos tracked world history to the year 1057, while Zonaras continued the record into the twelfth century, concluding with the year 1118.

Kedrenos A next mentions the Zeus created by Pheidias for the sanctuary at Olympia (Fig.
Following the Zeus, Kedrenos A documents a second statue by Lysippos, which it identifies as Chronos and describes as being bald at the back of the head with a shock of hair in front.
Although the reference is to Chronos, the explicit description of the figure's coiffure and the Lysippan attribution relate the sculpture to that artist's image of Kairos, a freestanding bronze statue created sometime in the later fourth century B.C.E. [37] No freestanding versions of this figure survive; however, literary sources and relief representations document its appearance.

 Roger Scott : The Centre for Classics & Archaeology : The University of Melbourne
Skylitzes' chronicle was copied slavishly by the 12th-century chronicler Kedrenos whose work has had to be used as a substitute for Skylitzes until Thurn's recent edition, even though Kedrenos also has only been available in a poor quality 19th.
The aim of this project is to sort out, by means of a translation and commentary (including a crucial textual commentary), one such text, the twelfth-century chronicle of George Kedrenos, which is both much used and, because of its difficulties, much abused, and, simultaneously through this study, to advance the study of Byzantine chronicles generally.
Kedrenos has never been translated into a modern language.

A Kievian prince named Oleg (not to be confused with Oleg of Kiev) was reportedly kidnapped by "Khazars" in 1078 and shipped off to Constantinople, although most scholars believe that this is a reference to the Kipchaks.
There is the joint attack on the Khazar state in Kerch, ruled by Georgius Tzul, by the Byzantines and Russians in 1016, documented by Kedrenos.
Following 1016, there are more ambiguous references to Khazars that may or may not be using "Khazars" in a general sense (the Byzantines and Arabs, for example, called all steppe people "Turks"; before them the Romans had called them all "Scythians").

The Normans, she said, had their beards signed but were not much injured.
Kedrenos reported that in his time (eleventh century) the secret of the fire was possessed by Lampros, a descendant of Kallinikos.
The state chemist who had the recipe, a secret not to put into writing, no doubt took an oath not to divulge it.

Kedrenos documented a joint attack on the Khazar state in Kerch, ruled by Georgius Tzul, by the Byzantines and Russians in 1016.
Following 1016, there are more ambiguous references in Eastern Christian sources to Khazars that may or may not be using "Khazars" in a general sense (the Byzantines and Arabs, for example, called all steppe people "Turks"; before them the Romans had called them all "Scythians").

Our quotes are few, but they do suggest that Varangians had some recourse to their native laws.
From Kedrenos we hear the judgement given, circa1034AD, on a Varangian in a field army, who attempted to rape a woman.
The man had been accidentally killed in the attempt, but his fellow Varangians honored the woman, gave her all the dead man's possessions, and threw his body away without burial.

In fact the Ashkenazies were the majority of European Jews before the World War II, and according to Koestler, they all descend from Khazars, who adopted a dialect of German while in exile.
This would, however, presuppose, that the Khazars did not escape the fall of their empire (that took place in 1016, according to the Byzantine chronicler Kedrenos) right into north-west, but instead they, or part of their leaders, would have spent some time in the Alps.

 Russian and Byzantium Political Relations with Pachenegs
Such condiiton drew Pacheneg raids on Balkans (1026, 1035, 1036).
However, for Byzantine historian Kedrenos (11th Century), Pachenegs "who occupied the southern area of Danube from Dnieper river to Pannonia (Western Hungary)", in some time started a conflict between 11 clans of Pachenegs leaded by Turak and other leader Kegen who claimed dominance (10ı8), which resulted in taking refuge of the latter in Byzantium.
Kegen accepted Christianity and Turak was taken captive in the war and became a Christian.
