Timočani

Timočani

The Timočani or Timochani were a medieval Slavic tribe that lived in the territory of present-day eastern Serbia, west of the Timok River, [http://www.mfa.government.bg/history_of_bulgaria/31.html] as well as in the regions of Banat and Syrmia.

The Timočani joined the First Bulgarian Empire after Khan Krum conquered the lands of the Eurasian Avars in 805. In 818, [http://historyexam.hit.bg/2.htm] during the rule of Omurtag (814-836) they, together with other border tribes of the Bulgarian Empire, revolted because of an administrative reform that deprived them of much of their local authority, and sought protection from Holy Roman Emperor Louis the Pious. Omurtag decided to settle the matter by means of diplomatics in 824-826, but his letters were not replied to by Louis. This forced Omurtag to undertake a boat campaign on the Drava in 827 and 829, bringing the separatists back under the control of the Bulgarian state and appointing local governors.

A prince of the Timočani, Borna II became the ruler of the Croats after being forced to save life by fleeing to exile.

The Timočani were assimilated in the Serbian and Bulgarian ethnicity later in the Middle Ages.
