The Cyrillic alphabet has no established authorship. Most scholars reject the thesis that Kliment Ohridski is its author. It is more probable that he perfected the Glagolitic alphabet, the alphabet of the holy brothers he revered.

In those days Europe had only three crowns - the Western - Frankish Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire - Byzantium, and the Bulgarian
