The Bulgars were a semi-nomadic warrior people originally from Central Asia, who migrated westward in the 5th and 6th centuries. They played a significant role in the formation of the First Bulgarian Empire in the late 7th century, merging with the local Slavic populations. The Bulgars were known for their equestrian skills and military prowess, and their legacy is reflected in the modern nation of Bulgaria. Over time, they adopted Slavic culture and language, leading to their integration into the broader Slavic world.

A google.com search using the query, What are the origins of the Fir Bolg?, turned up 815 links. (including the one mentioned below.) thefreedictionary.com is where I found the following as well as other related info. In Celtic mythology, the Firbolgs ("men of the bags") were early gods of Ireland that attacked the Fomorians. They fought to a standstill and both sides lived in Ireland until the Firbolgs were exterminated by the Tuatha de Danaan ("people/children of Danu"). Also spelled Fir Bholg Hi,this bulgarian wants to contribute a little info concerning the ancient Fir Bolgs. Yes, there are proto bulgars from Eastern Europe. Actually to be precise from ancient Sumer since they were cimmerians. After the fall of ancient Sumer a number of them along with slavs,celts and others will go to Babylon. With the fall of the latter they moved on to Egypt where around or after the invasion of the Sea Peoples,Egypt's pharaoh expelled them from his kingdom. The proto-bulgars went to the Balkans and some of them sailed to Ireland afterwards. Those bulgars that went to Eire or part of the bulgar nation was known as Fir Bolgs for the leather bags and belts all bulgars were known to wear. Danubian Bulgaria founded in 681 A.D had kings from the first bulgarian dynasy with the same names as Fir Bolg kings and their offspring. Danubian Bulgaria had kings with names like...Umor,Symeon - 8th and 10th century A.D. Our present prime minister and also the former child king has the name Simeon. Also female Fir Bolg names like Etar are archaic bulgar names.The Fir Bolg name Beoan is widely used archaic and present day bulgarian name Baian or Boyan.Batbeoan is also bulgar name. The Fir Bolg name Adar is purely old bulgar name. When the Tuatha De Danann/ancient goths from nowdays Denmark/ conquered the Fir Bolgs they put and end to finno-ugrian domination of Ireland. Yes the bulgars of present day Bulgaria were melted in the slavic and gotho-thracian pot but many old bulgar words,their ancient calendar,numbers and else remains part of modern bulgarian language and customs.
The Byzantines had various enemies throughout their history, including the Goths, Persians, Arabs, Bulgars, and Normans. They had varying degrees of conflict and diplomacy with neighboring empires like the Sassanids (Persians) and later the Ottomans. Their allies included the Western European powers during the Crusades and at times, parts of the Italian city-states.
