In the year 811, Emperor Nikephoros I of Byzantium marched confidently against Khan Krum of Bulgaria with one of the largest imperial armies ever assembled. Days later, he was dead, his troops annihilated, and his skull transformed into the most infamous drinking cup in medieval history.
This video uncovers the brutal truth behind one of Byzantium’s darkest defeats — from Nikephoros’s rise to power and ruthless financial reforms, to the devastating ambush at Vărbitsa Pass, and the chilling moment when his skull became Krum’s psychological weapon.
Discover how a single miscalculation shattered imperial prestige, reshaped the balance of power in medieval Europe, and turned the Byzantine emperor into a macabre symbol of humiliation.
