According to other versions (turkish hronists Rashid and Defterdar) Karpoš was a leader of rebels in Dospat planina, in Rhodopi mauntain, in Bulgaria. He was mortolosbashi (chief of christian auxiliary forces) in the region between Sofia and Kjustendil (Kjustendil, Sirishtnik and Radomir) in Bulgaria. In 1689 liberated territory under his control stretched through most of northern Macedonia, and he allegedly got the title "King of Kumanovo" by his allies, the Austrians.
