Zagore (region)
text:
Zagore, also Zagorie (Загорие), Zagora (Загора), or Zagoriya (Загория), was a vaguely defined medieval region in what is now Bulgaria. Its name is of Slavic origin and means "beyond [i.e. south of] the [Balkan] mountains". The region was first mentioned as Ζαγόρια in Greek when it was ceded to the First Bulgarian Empire by the Byzantine Empire during the rule of Tervel of Bulgaria in the very beginning of the 8th century. From the context, Zagore can be defined as a region in northeastern Thrace
