Momchilov grad (Momchilo’s fortress) is situated in Pirot Serbia. It was built in the 14th century by Bulgarian brigand and local ruler Momchil. In 1344 the regency concluded a further alliance with Bulgaria which required the surrender of Philippopolis (Plovdiv) and nine other towns in northern Thrace along the river Evros. Nevertheless after their occupation Ivan Alexander refrained from direct action against John VI Kantakouzenos’ forces operating in southern and eastern Thrace.
