Teodoro de Dobruja


Theodore of Dobruja (in Bulgarian: Теодор на Добруджа) was a noble of Dobruja's Despotado. He was the brother of Balik, the founder of the state, and his successor Dobrotitsa.

In 1346, Dobrotitsa and Theodore were sent along with 1,000 soldiers by Balik to help the Byzantine Empress Anna of Savoy in the civil war against John VI Cantacucene, but were defeated. In 1347, Umur Beg of Aydın conducted a naval expedition against Dobruja on behalf of Emperor John V Paleologus, in which Theodore and Balik were killed.
