š© Basil II's persistent and successful war against a strong Bulgarian kingdom under its tsar Samuel established Eastern Roman Empire's domination over the Balkans after four hundred years of tribes and khanates dominating the region. In the east, he scored military victories against the Fatimids and Georgians, as well as extending the empire's influence into Armenia and Syria.
His frugal policies stabilized the treasury and the state, leaving the empire the strongest it has been in centuries, militarily and economically. But for all his achievements he neglected his duty of siring an heir to the throne. This two-hour video is a story about his reign.
Iām a fan of Samuel he proved to be the most successful of his siblings and clearly must of had a lot of respect from his soldiers to run so many campaigns and victories.

I mean as epic as the feats where of Basil II in the end you gotta question how many times a rulers army can be ambushed unexpectedly , I mean I knew it was going to happen and I'm still facepalming when it does.
