Bulgária em rebelião: a revolta camponesa de Ivaylo da idade média à contemporaneidade

Abstract

In 1277, a revolt against the throne of that kingdom occurred in Bulgaria. Peasants, led by a pig farmer called “Ivaylo”, mobilized to face this enemy, considering him incapable of facing foreign invaders, in which the peasants also fought. After centuries, there remains, as a legacy, an entire international bibliography, although not Brazilian, that addresses the historical event, and this study selects one of them, the (self-styled) Marxist one, and makes an interpretative effort between what would be propaganda and what would be scientific, that is, it follows scientific standards of rigor and methodology. In this reading, observations are made on the political and economic structure of the Bulgarian kingdom in its details, regarding political, economic, religious and military institutions, comparing them with both Western and Byzantine institutions and also analyzing the level and the essence of the presence of Bulgarian empresses in the sources on the discussed section, with regard to the way in which these empresses acted in historiography in the chronological section covered in this work.
