Notes about Ivan "Cometopuli" Владислав Tsar of Bulgaria

Ivan Vladislav of Bulgaria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ivan Vladislav was the ruler of Bulgaria from August or September 1015 to August or September 1018. He was the son of Aron, the brother of Samuil. His reign oversaw the annexation of Bulgaria by the Byzantine Empire.

When Samuil ordered Aron and his family to be killed on suspicion of treason, Ivan ended up surviving only due to the insistance of his cousin Gavril Radomir. The Byzantines, who were having trouble dealing with Gavril Radomir upon his rise to power, persuaded Ivan to kill the Bulgarian ruler, promising him the throne. He murdered Radomir near Ostrovo, and took his place as ruler of Bulgaria. However, despite swearing an oath of loyalty to Byzantine Emperor Basil II, the conflict with the Greeks continued. The Byzantines devastated Bulgaria, and finally took the capital Ohrid in 1018. Ivan himself was killed during the siege of Duras that same year.

Ivan had a son, Alusian, that would play an influential role in Bulgaria's struggle for independence several decades later.

[edit] Life
Ivan Vladislav was the son of Aron, the brother of Emperor Samuel (Samuil) of Bulgaria. In 987 Samuel ordered his brother Aron executed for treason together with his entire family. The massacre was survived only by Aron's son Ivan Vladislav, who was saved through the intercession of his cousin, Samuel's son Gabriel Radomir.

What happened with Ivan Vladislav during the subsequent decades is unknown, but in 1015 he was induced by Byzantine agents to murder his cousin Gabriel Radomir, while the latter was hunting near Ostrovo (Arnissa), and seize the Bulgarian throne. Ivan Vladislav took steps to ensure his positions against potential rivals, and in 1016 lured and murdered Prince Vladimir of Zeta, who was married to Gabriel Radomir's sister Theodora (Kosara).

Although Ivan Vladislav had entered into negotiations with the Byzantine Emperor Basil II, he quickly began to follow the determined policy of his predecessors to resist the ongoing Byzantine conquest. Ivan Vladislav restored the fortifications of Bitola in 1015 and survived an assassination plot undertaken by Byzantine agents. Although the Byzantines sacked Ohrid, they failed to take Pernik, they were defeated in the battle of Bitola and received troubling intelligence that Ivan Vladislav was attempting to induce the Pechenegs to come to his aid, following up the general practice of his predecessors.

While Byzantine armies had penetrated deep into Bulgaria in 1016, Ivan Vladislav was able to rally his forces. In 1017 the Bulgarians were defeated in the battle of Setina but it did not bring the war to the end and Ivan Vladislav was able to commenced a siege of Durazzo in the winter of 1018. During a battle in front of the city, Ivan Vladislav was killed. After his death much of the Bulgarian nobility and court, including his widow Maria, submitted to the advancing Basil II in exchange of guarantees for the preservation of their lives, status, and property. A faction of the nobles and the army rallied around Ivan Vladislav's eldest sons and continued to resist for several months until it was forced to submit.

Family
By his wife Marija, Ivan Vladislav had several children, including:

Presian II, who briefly succeeded as emperor of Bulgaria 1018
Aron, Byzantine general
Alusian, who was briefly emperor of Bulgaria in 1041
Troian (Trojan). Father of Maria of Bulgaria, who married Andronikos Doukas.
Catherine (Ekaterina), who married the future Byzantine Emperor Isaac I Komnenos

Ivan Vladislav (Bulgarian: Иван Владислав) ruled as emperor (tsar) of Bulgaria from August or September 1015 to February 1018. The year of his birth is unknown, but he was born at least about a decade before 987.

Ivan Vladislav was the only survivor, being spared through the intercession of his cousin, Samuel's son Gabriel Radomir.[1]

What happened with Ivan Vladislav during the subsequent decades is unknown. By 1015 however, Bulgaria had been embroiled in a prolonged war with the Byzantine Empire and Gabriel Radomir had succeeded Samuel, who had died on 6 October 1014 after the disastrous Battle of Kleidion. In late summer of 1015, while Gabriel Radomir was hunting near Ostrovo (Arnissa), he was murdered by Ivan Vladislav, perhaps at the suggestion of Byzantine agents.[1] Ivan Vladislav then seized the Bulgarian throne and took steps to ensure his positions against potential rivals; in 1016 lured and murdered Prince Jovan Vladimir of Dioclea, who was married to Gabriel Radomir's sister Theodora (Kosara).[1]

Although Ivan Vladislav had entered into negotiations with the Byzantine Emperor Basil II which led to the conclusion of a truce, he quickly began to follow the determined policy of his predecessors to resist the ongoing Byzantine conquest. Ivan Vladislav restored the fortifications of Bitola in 1015 (as testified in the Bitola inscription) and survived an assassination plot undertaken by Byzantine agents.

A faction of the nobles and the army rallied around Ivan Vladislav's eldest sons and continued to resist for several months until it was forced to submit.

Family

By his wife Maria, Ivan Vladislav had several children. Maria was named zoste patrikia by Basil II, and the descendants of Ivan Vladislav entered Byzantine service, becoming part of the Byzantine nobility and forming close ties with the Komnenos clan in particular.[2] THe children of Maria and Ivan Vladislav were:[2]

Presian II, who briefly succeeded as emperor of Bulgaria 1018
Aaron, Byzantine general of Iberia, founder of the Aaronios family.
Alusian, who was briefly emperor of Bulgaria in 1041. Founder of the Alousianos family.
Troian. Father of Maria of Bulgaria, who married Andronikos Doukas.
Radomir.
Unnamed son (possibly named Clement).
Catherine (Ekaterina), who married the future Byzantine Emperor Isaac I Komnenos (r. 1057–1059).
There were further five daughters of unknown names, one of whom married a certain Romanos Kourkouas.
