Years: 896 - 896
Simeon, having dealt with the pressure from the Magyars and the Greeks, is free to plan a campaign against the Magyars looking for retribution.
He negotiates a joint force with the Magyars' eastern neighbors, the Pechenegs, and imprisons the imperial envoy Leo Choirosphaktes in order to delay the release of the captives until after the campaign against the Magyars.
This will allow him to renegotiate the peace conditions in his favor.
In an exchange of letters with the envoy, Simeon refuses to release the captives and ridicules Leo VI's astrological abilities.
