He defeated the Bulgar Army, allied himself with the Byzantine Emperor and ruled the First Serbian Principality when the Christianization of the Serbs took place and the Eparchy of Ras was established. He was the eldest son of Knez Vlastimir, great-great-grandson of the Unknown Archont, who managed to unite the Serb tribes into a state.〔(The wars of the Balkan Peninsula: their medieval origins ) ISBN 0-8108-5846-0〕 He initially ruled together with his two younger brothers, but they revolted against him and he exiled them to Bulgaria, as guarantors of peace. ==Background== It is thought that the rapid extension of Bulgars over Slavs to the south prompted the Serbs to unite into a state.〔 It is known that the Serbs and Bulgars lived in peace until the invasion in 839 (the last years of Theophilos).〔 Vlastimir united several Serbian tribes,〔L. Kovacevic & L. Jovanovic, ''Историjа српскога народа'', Belgrade, 1894, Book 2, p. 38—39〕 Emperor Theophilos (r. 829–842) probably granted the Serbs independence,〔S. Stanojevic, ''Историjа српскога народа'', Belgrade, 1910, p. 46—47〕 and they acknowledged nominal overlordship of the Emperor.〔 The annexation of western Macedonia by the Bulgars changed the political situation, Malamir or Presian may have seen a threat in the Serb consolidation, and opted to subjugate them in midst the conquest of Slav lands.〔J. B. Bury, (p. 372 )〕 ''Khan'' Presian I of Bulgaria〔''The early medieval Balkans'', p. 108〕 (r. 836–852) invades Serbian territory between 839-842 (see Bulgarian–Serbian Wars). The Bulgars of Malamir may have felt a threat in the Serbs, alternatively the Byzantines wanted to divert the attention so that they could cope with the Slav Uprising in the Peloponnese.〔''Известия за българите'', p. 42—43〕 The invasion led to a 3-year war, Vlastimir was victorious;〔''The early medieval Balkans'', p. 110〕 Khan Presian made no territorial gain, was heavily defeated and lost many of his men, he was driven out by the army of Vlastimir.〔 The war ended with the death of Theophilos in 842, which released Vlastimir from his obligations to the Byzantine Empire, on the other hand gave the opportunity to the Bulgarians to attack and annex the areas of Ohrid, Bitola and Devol in 842–843.〔 Vlastimir went on to expand to the west, taking southeast Bosnia and northeast Herzegovina (''Hum'').〔〔M. Th. Houtsma, ''E.J. Brill's first encyclopaedia of Islam 1913-1936'' (p. 199 ). ISBN 90-04-08265-4, ISBN 978-90-04-08265-6〕 In the meantime; Braničevo, Morava, Timok, Vardar and Podrimlje were occupied by the Bulgars.〔''Encyclopaedia Britannica: a new survey of universal knowledge, Volume (20 )'', p. 341: "the eastern provinces (Branichevo, Morava, Timok, Vardar, Podrimlye) were occupied by the Bulgars."〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mutimir of Serbia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
