Omurtag now turns his attention northwards.
Memorial inscriptions set up for Omurtag's dead officials indicate that his jurisdiction and troops had reached the river Dnieper in the east (campaigning against the Khazars or Magyars) and the Tisza in the west.
The Slavic tribes of the Timočani, Abodrites, and Braničevci had rebelled in 818 against the increasingly onerous Bulgarian suzerainty in the west and sought the support of the Frankish Emperor Louis the Pious.
Omurtag approaches the Frankish court in 824 and 825 in an attempt to seek a diplomatic resolution of the problem.
