Administration
I removed the following sentence from the "Administration" section:
"The land was politically and militarily prepared for serious politics and definitive fortification of Serbia and the Serb people in the Vardar valley and the middle Podunavlje."
I did this for two reasons:
- It is an unnecessary observation, given that history speaks for itself. If Serbia ("The land") had military and political successes under the king, then the fact it was prepared beforehand for these occurrences is presumed by default.
- The claim that the Vardar valley was populated by Serbs. A contemporary Byzantine historian - George Akropolites, in his chronicle "The History" states that the locals spoke a Bulgarian tongue and supported the Bulgarian Emperor Michael Asen I's invasion of the region in the year 1247, because, according to Akropolites, they wanted to be rid of the "yoke of those who spoke another language" (i.e. the Nicene Greeks, who ruled the region at the time). — Preceding unsigned comment added by IcoK97 (talk • contribs) 01:22, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
