Vardariotai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vardariotai (Greek: Βαρδαριῶται), sometimes Anglicized as Vardariots, were an ethnic and territorial group (probably originally of Cumans and Pechenegs origin)[1] in the later Byzantine Empire, which provided a palace guard regiment during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
