The Battle on the Dnieper Frontier
Year: 701
Location: Dnieper, Kiev
Ruler: Asparuh
Bulgaria's frontier was a zone of conflict between Bulgarians, Khazars and Avars. This is inferred from the large quantity of defensive equipment and structures.
During a Khazar invasion of Bulgarian territory, Kan Asparuh fell while repelling their forces. A monument stands there that is believed to mark the kan's grave.
