-'''Momchil of Pirdop''' ({{lang-bg|''Княз Момчил Пирдопски'', Kniaz Momchil Pirdopski}}) is the medieval bulgarian county [[Kniaz]] (i.e. local Prince) of [[Tzar]] [[Ivan Shishman of Bulgaria]] in [[Pirdop]] [[county]] in [[Sub-Balkan valleys]]  of [[Upper Thracian Plain|Upper Thrace]]. As testifies the commemorative inscription in [[Pirdopian Apostle]] after the fall of the bulgarian capital [[Veliko Tarnovo|Tarnovgrad]] on [[17 July]] [[1393]] to him in the [[Elenska Basilica|Pirdop fortress-monastery St. Elijah]] come and have protection the [[Patriarch of Bulgaria]] [[Euthymius of Tarnovo|Euthymius]]. The forces of the Prince Momchil Pirdopski for years with stubbornness and heroism have defended the valley and the southwest borders of [[Second Bulgarian Empire|Bulgaria Tzardom]]. When Orhan, the [[sultan]] [[Bayezid I|Bajazid]]'s cousin, personally led the Turks' campaign in the autumn of 1393 against the Bulgarians of prince Momchil Pirdopski, the Ottoman invader was not only defeated and repelled, but Prince Momchil beheaded the Turkish leader Orhan himself. After the victory, the Bulgarians leaded by their kniaz Momchil Pirdopski  attacked the Turkish capital, which since 61 years form [[1362]] (and until 1453) is Adrianople. In the battle under the Adrianople walls Prince Momchil Pirdopski was killed in 1393, but the Turks for many long years did not dare to dispose in Pirdop, a witness of which is the Monastery of "St. Elijah" intact till 1498, unlike of the others Bulgarian monasteries looted yet at the beginning of the Turkish yoke.
