Angered by Isaac II's crushing new taxes, two Bulgarian noblemen announced the revival of the Bulgarian Empire. Isaac's successive military commanders were disasters: the first rebelled and marched on Constantinople, the second let his army be wiped out in the mountains, and the third also rebelled and appeared outside the capital's walls. Isaac's own subsequent campaign was ambushed and barely escaped.
