0:38 Even though the Greek culture and language spread, the Greeks mostly stayed below the line shown before.

1:09 Or any other farmers from the people groups mentioned before.

8:19 Along with some Germanic Farmers like Lombards, Ostrogoths and Franks.

16:36 With a brief disruption in the middle by the Domagojevic dynasty.

17:40 It is also debated that around the middle 9th century the Serbians may have been forced alias or even vassals of the Bulgars for a while.
