Source heading; not independently verified

When the aforementioned tyrant Regnerus, who
commenced to reign about A. D. 818, had died, in
the year 832, having been cast among the snakes,
and the Christian believers in the devastated regions,
had obtained, it seems, some freedom in the matter
of living according to their faith, there arose against
them, ten years afterwards, namely, A. D. 842, another
miscreant, no better, to all appearance, than
the former, though for a time he had borne the
name of a Christian, who instituted great tyranny
against them.

The last mentioned author, proceeding to the year
842, speaks in his account concerning this matter
as follows: “When this King of the Bulgarians had
received the kingdom from his father, who wished
to retire into privacy, he apostatized from the
(Roman) Christian faith to heathen idolatry, and
re-established the latter, with much tyranny against
the Christians. Chron., 9th book, page 287, col. 1,
from Hist. Andræ, fol. 182. Leon., lib. 4, fol. 176.
Compare this with the above note.
