Alusian ({{lang-bg|Алусиан}}, {{lang-el|{{lang|grc|Ἀλουσιάνος}}}}) was a Bulgarian and Eastern Roman noble who ruled as emperor (tsar) of Bulgaria for a short time in 1041. LifeAlusian was the second son of Emperor Ivan Vladislav of Bulgaria (r. 1015–1018) by his wife Maria. Together with his older brother Presian II he attempted to resist Bulgaria's annexation by the Eastern Roman Empire in 1018 but eventually had to surrender to Emperor Basil II (r. 976–1025) in the same year. In the Eastern Roman Empire Alusian joined the ranks of the court aristocracy and was appointed governor (stratēgos) of the theme of Theodosioupolis. Alusian increased his wealth by marrying a rich member of the Armenian nobility, but in the later 1030s he lost the favor of Emperor Michael IV the Paphlagonian (r. 1034–1041) and his brother, the powerful parakoimomenos John the Orphanotrophos. Alusian was deprived of certain estates and fined a hefty amount for alleged misdeeds. Hearing of the successful uprising of his second cousin Peter Delyan against the emperor in 1040, Alusian fled the Roman court and joined Peter's ranks.[1] Alusian was welcomed by Peter, who gave him an army with which to attack Thessalonica. The siege however was raised by the Romans, and the Bulgarian army was defeated. Alusian barely escaped and returned to Ostrovo.[1] One night in 1041, during dinner, Alusian took advantage of Peter's inebriation and cut off his nose and blinded him with a kitchen knife. Since Alusian was of the blood of Tsar Samuel (r. 997–1014), he was quickly proclaimed emperor in Peter's place by his troops, but conspired to desert to the Eastern Romans. As the Bulgarian and Eastern Roman troops were preparing for battle, Alusian deserted to the enemy, surrendering the blinded Peter Delyan to the emperor.[1] As a reward, his possessions and lands were restored to him and he was given the high court rank of magistros.[1] The same title had been granted earlier to other deposed emperors of Bulgaria, namely Boris II in 971 and Presian II in 1018. Alusian's subsequent fate is unknown, but his descendants, the Alousianoi, continued to prosper in the ranks of the Eastern Roman aristocracy until the 14th century.[1] FamilyBy his marriage to an Armenian noblewoman from the theme of Kharsianon, Alusian had several children, including:[1]
