    What countries were once called 'tsardoms'?

    Question #90995. Asked by author. (Jan 10 08 1:07 PM)


    BRY2K

    		Medieval Bulgarian and Serbian states were both tsardoms.

    Both faced problems with their legitimacy as "empires" in a contest with the only legitimate empire- Byzantium and so became tsardoms.

    		"Tsar" was the official title of the supreme ruler in the following states:

    * Bulgaria in 913–1018, in 1185-1422 and in 1908–1946
    * Serbia in 1346–1371
    * Russia from about 1547 until 1721 (after 1721 and until 1917, the title was used officially only in reference to the Russian emperor's sovereignty over certain formerly independent states such as Poland and Georgia).
