Description
The Saint Gabriel of Lesnovo came according to his Vita to Mihail’s aid, who was a Bulgarian local prince. The saint supported him in the fight against the Pechenegs and Cumans. Mihail had to flee from his opponents to Ratkovica (vo stranu Ratkovicu). He was able with the assistance of the saint to sidle up to the opposing general Mavragan near Rataica in Zletovo (u Slětovo) and kill him (u Rataicě i ubi Mavragana).
