Summary/Abstract: Oryahovo is a border fortress of the Kingdom of Tarnovo, so it is not surprising that in the sources its name is found mostly in connection with military conflicts. The most comprehensive are the accounts of the crusades of King Sigismund in 1396, of Władysław of Varna in 1444, as well as the action of Valerien de Wavrin in 1445. The information is contradictory, but it paints a picture of destruction and ruin. The fortress is partially destroyed and gradually loses its strategic importance, and its name disappears from the sources.
