1196 CE

Constantinople's forces are thoroughly defeated in 1196 after nearly a decade of intermittent warfare between the Empire and Bulgaria.

Ivan Asen is killed later in this year by one of his boyars, Ivanko, who had been threatened with punishment for an affair with the sister of Ivan Asen I's wife.

The murderer attempts to assume control in Turnovo.

Petar Asen, Ivan’s brother, who had retired to Preslav without abdicating the throne, marches on Turnovo, besieges the Ivanko, and forces him to flee to Constantinople.
