2 unusual facts about Siege of Lovech


Siege of Lovech

In the late autumn of 1186, the Byzantine army marched northwards through Sredets (Sofia).

The peace lasted until 1189 when, due to the Bulgarian proposal to support the Third Crusade against the Byzantines, Isaac Angelos launched another campaign and suffered a heavy defeat in the Battle of Tryavna, which confirmed the Bulgarian military superiority.
