Kosara or Cossara (Bulgarian: Косара)[1] was a Bulgarian Empress, the wife of Tsar Samuel of Bulgaria. She married about 970.
Her father was John Chryselios from Dyrrhachium. His name and his heresy drive us towards the middle of the Armenians Paulicians.[2]
In contemporary Bulgaria, Kosara is a popular name traditionally associated with the Emperor Samuel’s family. Today, there is a village Kosara in Northern Bulgaria founded in 1750 by Armenians.
