Moses (Church Slavonic:Мѡѷсе́йBulgarian:Мойсей; diedc. 976/986) was aBulgarian noble, brother of EmperorSamuel of Bulgaria and second son ofkomes Nicholas. After the fall of the eastern parts of the Empire underByzantine occupation in 971, he and his brothersDavid,Aron and Samuel continued the fight to the west. They ruled together and divided the realm into four parts. His lands were centred onStrumitsa, from where he had to launch attacks against theAegean regions of theByzantine Empire.

In 976 the Bulgarian armies undertook a major assault from all borders and Moses lead his troops toSerres. During the siege of the town, he was mortally hit by a stone and then slain by an enemy sword. David and Aron also perished in the same year and the whole power fell in the hands of Samuel, who became Emperor in 997 after the death of last ruler from the previous dynasty,Roman.

However, there is also another version about Moses's origin.^[1] According to this version, Simeon I of Bulgaria had several children. One of them was Ivan who married to anArmenian in Caesarea. Moses and his brother Aaron were Ivan’s sons. According to this version, Moses survived and remained in action next to Samuel against the enemy at least until 986.
