	List of Bulgarian monarchs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Slavic the generic term for ruler, knjaz was used until 913, when Simeon I was crowned Emperor of the Bulgarians in a makeshift imperial coronation by the Patriarch of Constantinople, Nicholas I Mystikos.
		After the peace settlements of 924 and 927, the Bulgarian imperial title was recognized, albeit reluctantly, by the Byzantine government.
		The rulers are listed by their official names, excluding sobriquets and patronymics (e.g., Konstantin [son of] Tih and Mihail [son of] Šišman).

	Tsar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The diplomatic correspondence between the Bulgarian emperor Kaloyan and Pope Innocent III claims that the imperial crowns of Simeon I, his son Peter I, and of Samuel were somehow also derived from the Papacy.

	Samuil of Bulgaria (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The theory is centred around a short note by Byzantine historian John Skilitsa saying that after the death of Tsar Peter I, his sons, Boris II and Roman (held until then as hostages in Constantinople), were sent back to Bulgaria in order to hinder the Comitopulis from stirring the people to revolt.
		The multitude of other sources which refer to the empire of Samuil as to Bulgaria and to him as a Bulgarian Tsar are explained in one way or another, depending on the context, predominantly explained as belonging to state, not ethnicity.
		The recognition of Samuil as a Bulgarian Tsar by the Pope is, for example, explained by the practice of the Roman Pope to give a title to the crown which was identified with the territory of an already recognized empire, and Samuil's Empire extended over the territory of the Bulgarian Empire which had collapsed.
