House of Sratsimir (matrilineal)
The House of Shishman (Bulgarian: Шишман), also referred to as the Shishmanids or Shishmanovtsi (Bulgarian: Шишмановци), was a medieval Bulgarian dynasty of Turkic Cuman[1] origin. The House of Shishman ruled the Second Bulgarian Empire from the proclamation of Michael Asen III as emperor in 1323 to the deposition of his son Ivan Stephen in 1331 whereafter rule fell to the House of Sratsimir, who were matrilineal descendants of the Shishmanids.[2]
The Shishmanids were matrilineally descended from the earlier Asen dynasty[2] and may also have been related to the immediately preceding Terter dynasty.[3]
