Male, Deceased Person
Who is Dobromir Chrysos?
Dobromir, known to the Byzantines as Chrysos, was a leader of the Vlachs and Bulgarians in eastern Macedonia during the reign of the Byzantine emperor Alexios III Angelos. He became prominent in 1197 and is last heard of in 1202.
He was already married, but in order to cement an alliance with him the Emperor offered him a daughter of the Byzantine warlord Manuel Kamytzes. She was forced to divorce her husband and to marry Dobromir in 1198. About 1200 he took a third wife, the Emperor's granddaughter Theodora Angelina, who had previously been married to a rival leader, Ivanko and was afterwards to marry Leopold VI of Austria.
In 1202 the lands of Dobromir Chrysos were conquered by Bulgarian emperor Kaloyan.
