Sewar (Bulgaria)

Sewar (also written Sevar , Bulgarian Севар ) is considered to be the fourth ruler of Bulgaria since the country was recognized in 681 by Eastern Romans (Byzantium) . He belonged to the Bulgarian ruling dynasty Dulo and succeeded Kormesij on the throne. Sewar ruled between 738 and 753 or 754.

In many history books, the Central Asian title Khan is associated with Sewar. The only known and verifiable title of Sewar is the title Knjas.

Individual evidence

↑ There are some differences in the Bulgarian Princes List when it comes to the spelling of the names in the individual manuscripts, but they have one thing in common: the Central Asian title Khan is not mentioned in any of the manuscripts. The founder of Danube Bulgaria Asparuch and his five successors had a different title, namely the Slavic title Knjaz, which roughly means "king".
