Един „император на България“ в Сиена през 1363 г.
An “Emperor of Bulgaria” in Siena in 1363

Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the enigmatic pretender to the Bulgarian throne, known from the documents of the Kingdom of Anjou in Naples as “Ludovico, son of the glorious emperor of Bulgaria... our dear nephew”. His personality has been commented on by a whole host of historians from the time of Du Cange to the present day. In 2011, I. Mladjov published a contribution study in which he has mentioned the last known historical source on the matter. The present article introduces another historical source for this Ludovico, attested in the calendar of the Metropolitan Church of Siena (Cod. 187 (A.VI.14, f. 56v–57v) of the Municipal Library of Siena) and its revisions known as the Siena Chronicles.
