Осакатен или поробен: За съдбата на част от византийските пленници по времето на цар Симон (893-927)
Badly injured or enslaved:On the fate of some byzantine captives during the reign of tzar Symeon (893 -927)

Summary/Abstract: The wars of Bulgarian ruler Symeon with Byzantium have been studied properly from various aspects. However there are issues that need to be further investigated. In this sense an attempt to study different peculiarities of captives’ life during the last years of the ninth and the first quarter of the tenth centuries is acceptable and understandable. To a certain extent chronological and many other frameworks of such scientific activity are caused by the political development of the Balkan Peninsula. The basic factor is information in the narratives. Historical sources which described moments of captives’ life have shown an ever changing picture. Although the observed data allow additional comments. It is relatively easy to see some traditional and new aspects in prisoners’ fate under the reign of tsar Symeon.
