Summary/Abstract: The Bogomilism is the most powerful heretic movement in Bulgaria during the Middle Ages. It starts in Bulgaria at the beginning of the 10th century. The initiator of this movement is the Bulgarian priest Bogomil. In the second half of the 10th century, the Bogomilism became a very influential and powerful movement and czar Peter will take measures against them. The Bogomils are driven away from the country. They take refuge in the Byzantine Empire, Serbia, Bosnia, Hercegovina, but also in the West, where we found them under different names: “cathari” in Germany, “albigensi” in the south of France, “patarini” in Italy.
