Interesting. Yes I know about Kaloyan and Basil I the Bulgar slayer. The difference is that Basil earned his title years after his death when more stories of what he did to Bulgarians started emerging. Unlike Kaloyan, who was priding himself during his lifetime for killing byzantines, Greeks and Bulgarians alike.
