Theodore Sigritsa

Theodore Sigritsa

Theodore Sigritsa (Bulgarian: Теодор Сигрица), d.924 was a Bulgarian military commander and noble, "kavkhan" (first minister) of Emperor Simeon I The Great (893-927).

In 895 he headed a delegation in Constantinople for exchange of prisoners and captives between Bulgaria and Byzantium. In 913 after arduous and prolonged negotiations, Theodore worked out the prearrangement for peace which included the coronation of Simeon as Emperor of the Bulgarians. He participated in a successful campaign against the Serbs in 917 but in 924 he and Marmais leading a small army were ambushed by the Serbs and killed. Their death caused the annihilation of the Serb state and its reduction to a Bulgarian province in the same year.
