Ignatius (Bulgarian: Игнатий) was a Patriarch of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church in the 13th century during the rule of Emperor Konstantin Tih (r. 1257–1277). He is listed as the fourth Patriarch presiding over the Bulgarian Church from Tarnovo in the medieval Book of Boril.[1]
The name of Ignatius is linked to the firm position of the Bulgarian Church to maintain the purity of Orthodoxy during the
Charles I of Naples.[2] They also demanded the liquidation of the Bulgarian Patriarchate.[1] Patriarch Ignatius decisively opposed those moves and was called a "pillar of Orthodoxy".[2][3]
From that period dates the idea in
Tsarigrad.[1]
