The new Bulgarian czar Ivan is killed while fighting the Byzantine emperor Basil II, who annexes the western part of Bulgaria and regains Macedonia (see 1014). Ivan was a nephew of the late czar Samuel; his death enables Basil to make Bulgaria a Byzantine province, and Basil extends his empire's borders to Lake Van in Armenia, whose independence he will soon extinguish (see 1021).
