Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nikephoros Xiphias was a Byzantine military commander during the reign of Emperor Basil II. He was the governor of Plovdiv in Thrace. In 1001 he led a successful Byzantine campaign in north-eastern Bulgaria and captured the old Bulgarian capitals Pliska and Preslav. In 1014 he was among the Byzantine commanders during the battle of Kleidion. The Bulgarians under Emperor Samuil had built a thick wooden wall to prevent further enemy invasions. When the Byzantines were desperate after the heavy casualties they suffered in the futile attempts to assault the wall, Xiphias and his troops managed to find a path which led them into the Bulgarians' rear.
