Great, but two thingsPeter I is just Peter I -- no Saint in front.
I know Kontantin II is listed on Wikipedia as a Bulgarian king but officially, he is not. The second Bulgarian kingdom ends in 1397 with Ivan Statsimir.~ Ivayla,

Thanks!
According to Wikipedia and http://www.bulgaria.com/history/rulers/peter1.html the Bulgarian Church canonized Peter I.

He is selebrated on January 30, probably the day of his death.
