Abstract:

The article dwells on the impact of the Fourth Crusade and on the newly created Latin Empire (1204–1261) on the restored Bulgarian statehood. The author examines the influence of the Latin Empire on the Second Bulgarian Tsardom in several aspects: the re-establishment of the Second Bulgarian Tsardom in the Balkans and Southeastern Europe as a political and military factor, the role of the Bulgarian rulers in the division of part of the Byzantine heritage in the Balkans, and the role of the Second Bulgarian Tsardom in the political influence of the papacy in Southeastern Europe in the first half of the 13th century.
