Amadeus, in order to strengthen his bargaining …
Years: 1366 - 1366
October
Amadeus, in order to strengthen his bargaining position, attacks and captures Emona (Lemona, l'Emona), a fortress on Cape Emine, further south along the coast.
The Emonans rise in rebellion after their capitulation and have to be crushed.
Amadeus establishes a garrison there and returns to Varna.
As the truce between Varna and the count of Savoy drags on, a band of youthful crusaders venture by sea to take the small castle of "Calocastre" by night.
They are discovered by the guards as they try to scale the walls and massacred.
Amadeus, although expressing disapproval of their independent action, leads a retaliatory expedition which results in the slaughter of the population of Calocastre.
Negotiations with the Bulgars continue into mid-November, and, possibly at the insistence of the tsar, Amadeus raises the siege of Varna and withdraws to Nesebar, leaving a garrison in Emona, before November 18.
