Michael I of Duklja in the context of "Uprising of Georgi Voiteh"

The Uprising of Georgi Voyteh (Bulgarian: Въстание на Георги Войтех, romanized: Vastanie na Georgi Voyteh), or the Slavic uprising against the Byzantine rule (Serbian: Словенски устанак против византијске власти, romanized: Slovenski ustanak protiv vizantijske vlasti) was a wide South Slavic uprising against the Byzantine rule, that broke out in central Balkan regions soon after the devastating Byzantine defeat in Asia Minor, at the Battle of Manzikert (1071). The movement was initiated by Bulgarian leaders in the theme of Bulgaria, with assistance from the Serbian prince Michael I of Duklja, whose son Bodin was accepted by the rebels and proclaimed as emperor of Bulgaria, under the name Peter (1072). After some initial expansion, and several clashes with the Byzantines, the rebels were defeated by 1073. That was the second major attempt to restore the Bulgarian Empire, after the failed Uprising of Peter Delyan in 1040–1041.
