Dobrotitsa ruled on the western Black Sea coast. Despot was a medieval title, rather than a judgement about his character. His domain was connected to fortresses, sea trade and rivalry between regional powers. Finds from Kaliakra reveal life in a fortified town, beyond a military outpost. Ruled in the fourteenth century. Used Kaliakra as his capital. Took part in Black Sea political affairs. His domain illustrates the political diversity of the Bulgarian lands in the fourteenth century.
