George II Terter of Bulgaria

George Terter II was the son of Tsar Theodore Svetoslav and reigned as tsar of Bulgaria from 1322 to 1323. Succeeding his father in 1322, he exploited the Byzantine civil war to invade Thrace and capture Philippopolis, installing a garrison there.

Later that year he reduced several fortresses around Adrianople, but Andronikos III rallied and drove the Bulgarians back. As the Byzantines prepared a counter-invasion, George died young, apparently of natural causes, leaving no known heir; Michael Shishman succeeded him.
