January 713: Tervel was the ruler of the First Bulgarian Empire, while Thrace was a region in the Byzantine Empire. The raid in 712 was a result of the political instability in Byzantium, allowing Tervel to take advantage and plunder the region up to the outskirts of Constantinople.
January 706: Tervel supported Justinian in an attempted restoration to the Byzantine throne in exchange for friendship, gifts and his daughter in marriage. With an army of 15,000 horsemen provided by Tervel, Justinian suddenly advanced on Constantinople and managed to gain entrance into the city in 705. Possibly a territorial concession in northeastern Thrace, a region called Zagore.
January 706: Khan Tervel in 705 assisted the deposed Byzantine Emperor Justinian II in regaining his throne in return for the Zagore region of Northern Thrace.
February 713: Tervel was the ruler of the Bulgarian Empire, while Thrace was a region in southeastern Europe. The Byzantine Empire was facing internal turmoil at the time, allowing Tervel to launch successful raids in 712, reaching the outskirts of Constantinople in 713.
