Our Majesty's fleet of ships supported them and ferried them across the Danube. sent them out against the army of the Bulgarians that had so wickedly taken up arms against Christians and, as though they were public executioners, they decisively defeated them in three engagements, so that the Christian Romans might not willingly stain themselves with the blood of the Christian Bulgarians. — Leo the Wise: Tactics The Hungarian army defeated the Bulgarians, but the latter hired the Pechenegs against them.
