Cozar People


Alba Bulgarica also known as Vojvodina and Syrmia or Sirmium, or Sarmatia or Savromat, Sabir, Alan, ˀln (אלן), Elicanum, Arsiya and Utigur Bulgaria or the Bogomils, Bosniak Church, Cathars, or Messiani were a Messianic Noahide commumity which existed in the 8th to 12th century in greater Banat under the rule of Galad, Sabriel, Salan, Gelu, Morut, Ajtony and Csanad. The community was succeeded by the Szekely Sabbatarians in the East and the Bosnian Church in the West and the Moravian Church in the North. The Sarmatian inhabitants were allied to the Romanians and to the Kalismani and thus were sometimes identified with the latter as the Cozar people of Crisana, Galycivka and Cuzrioara.

The state is supposed to have begun with 3000 Utigurs who escaped decimation and migrated from the plain of Chilgimizi to Romania where they were known as the Aquilas who initially resisted the arrival of Csaba's son Edumen of Moravia until he established a peace treaty with Kurt's Aquila Szekley remnant of Aladarius' 3000 Utigur Bulgar-Huns by inviting Galad of Vidin to power in the Greater area of Banat around 740CE. Galad's son Sabriel (often misidentified with Bulan) converted to Noahide Judaism under the influence of thousands of Paulician Alevis brought into his lands by the Byzantines.

Gradually these Kuber Bulgarians lost influence in the First Bylgarian Empire which had become very Slavonic and so the Utigur Szekelys ruled their own practically independent Bogomil state in Banat until the Bulgarian Church sided with the Byzantines against them. Their state surrendered to the Khazar Khan Joseph in the 920s and survived the Rus defeat of Khazaria until the 12th century when it was succeeded by the Bans of Bosnia and later by Counts of the Szekelys and thr Hussites.
