In 1125, the Church in the south of Rus had to combat another heresiarch named Dmitri. The Church in Bulgaria also tried to extirpate Bogomilism. Several thousand went in the army of Alexios I Komnenos against the Norman, [[Robert Guiscard]]. Efforts were again put forth for their conversion; and for the converts the new city of Alexiopolis was built, opposite Philippopolis.
