Editing Tsarina (section)

==Bulgaria==
The first Bulgarian ruler to use the title tsar was [[Simeon I of Bulgaria]], and his consort (her name is uncertain, reportedly Maria Sursuvul) used the title tsarina. The title was used by subsequent Bulgarian consorts until the end of the [[First Bulgarian Empire]] in 1018.  The last royal spouse to use the title was [[Maria (wife of Ivan Vladislav)|Maria]], the wife of [[Ivan Vladislav of Bulgaria]]. 

When the [[Second Bulgarian Empire]] was created in 1185 the rulers again adopted the title tsar and their consorts were therefore called tsarinas. 

In the [[Third Bulgarian Empire|Third Bulgarian State]], [[Ferdinand I of Bulgaria]] adopted the title tsar after he [[Bulgarian Declaration of Independence|proclaimed Bulgaria's Independence]] in 1908, and his wife, [[Eleonore Reuss of Köstritz]], previously ''[[knyaginya]]'', became ''tsaritsa''. The last Bulgarian tsaritsa was [[Giovanna of Italy]], the wife of Tsar [[Boris III of Bulgaria]]. [[Margarita Gómez-Acebo y Cejuela]], the wife of [[Simeon II of Bulgaria]], is also sometimes referred as a tsaritsa.
