Gordoservon
The city of Gordoservon ( Serbian - Cyrillic Гордосервон or Srbograd ; Middle Greek Γορδόσερβον ) in Bithynia was a Byzantine city that was inhabited by Serbs . The name is derived from the Serbs, who were resettled to Asia Minor around 649 (or 667) by the Byzantine Emperor Constans II . The city was located in the former heart of the Phrygian Kingdom . Today's Turkish city of Bolu was formerly called Bithynion , which may indicate the geographic location of Gordoservon .
Isidore, the bishop of Gordoservon, is mentioned in 680/681. The fact that this village was the seat of a bishop suggests that it was home to a large Serbian population.
A Byzantine army with 30,000 Slavs (mostly Serbs from Gordoservon) was defeated by the Umayyads in 692 in the battle of Sebastopolis because of the widespread Serb desertion. They had been persuaded to flee by Muhammad ibn Marwan , who reminded them of their forcibly uprooting and bad treatment by the emperor. Around the year 1200 the city is called 'Servochoria' ( Serbian village ).
