The Moravian Prince Rastislav persuades Boris I …
Years: 854 - 854
The Moravian Prince Rastislav persuades Boris I to help him against East Francia in 854.
According to some sources, some Franks bribed the Bulgarian monarch to attack Louis the German.
The Bulgarian-Slav campaign is a disaster, and Louis scores a great victory and invades Bulgaria.
At the same time, the Pannonian Croats wage a war against the Bulgarians.
Both peoples had coexisted peacefully up to that time, suggesting that the Croats had been paid by Louis to attack Bulgaria and distract Boris' attention from his alliance with Great Moravia.
Boris cannot achieve any success, and both sides exchange gifts and settle for peace.
