Contradiction to Kosara of Bulgaria

Were these two actually a same person? It appears that both had born the same children: Theodora Kosara, Miroslava and Gavril Radomir. All the best, --Biblbroks's talk 01:06, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the articles Agatha, wife of Samuel and Kosara of Bulgaria refer to a same person! I don't know where the name Kosara is taken from, but the name of this women traditionally is given as Agatha in the history sources - see Vindobonensis historia.74! --Nauka (talk) 08:34, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Page name

Since we know she was daughter of John Chryselios is there a reason this page name uses her husband to differentiate her and not her family name? 50.37.124.206 (talk) 21:11, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
