> What do they say that contradicts George's observation? The
event described by Ioannes Skylitzes (where the Vlachs are
mentioned for the very first time) took place in what is now
northern Greece, close to its Macedonian and Albanian borders.
What later authors testify to is the gradual expansion of the
Vlachs northwards, presumably as a consequence of the
stabilisation of Byzantine control south of the Danube. By all
accounts, the twelfth-century Vlachs were a significant ethnic
factor in Danubian Bulgaria, as George said, but their
colonisation of modern Romania was to gain momentum a little
later.

[Moeller] you right Piotr. There wer not spanish, but greeks.
I guess I have something with Miguel but nothing bad. Maybe
just because we seems to be cusins after one of our
fathers:-)))))) Alexios and Manuel Komnenos should it be..
