What happened?
Why is it a ruin now? -- Esemono (talk) 14:17, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 700 years and the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans happened :) Most Bulgarian castles were either destroyed or abandoned in the wake of those events, which meant the end of Bulgarian statehood for some 450 years. Few are in good shape and have not undergone major "creative reconstruction", and the best preserved one is thought to be Baba Vida in Vidin, if you're interested.
 * Generally, your edits are okay, although I'm not sure that footnote system is most suitable for such a compact article with most sources only having a single page cited. Is there any particular relation to Asenova krepost though? The two are not very close to each other and don't seem to be related in any other way apart from being medieval castles in southern Bulgaria. Perhaps that they both belong to Plovdiv Province?

Something's missing...
"The castle reached its heyday in the last quarter of the 13th century, when under the rule of the Bulgarian nobles (bolyari) Voysil and Radoslav it was the capital of a quasi-independent principality. The domain comprised the landholdings of the two renegade brothers of Tsar Smilets, which lay between the Balkan Mountains and Sredna Gora, approximately from modern Sliven west to Kopsis."

Okay, that's kind of cool. But what happened to the principality? Was it conquered? Did they surrender? Did they join with a different state to become one? — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  06:24, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It was a short-lived domain in the context of Bulgarian–Byzantine relations. The region of Thrace, where the castle is located, changed hands between Bulgaria and Byzantium numerous times in the Middle Ages. Todor→Bozhinov 07:51, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
