==Biography== Nikulitsa received his name ("little Nicholas") because of his short height. In 1001, the Byzantines led by Basil II () besieged the city of Servia and after a long siege they managed to break through despite the garrison's desperate defence. To secure the fortress, the entire Bulgarian population was deported in the area called Boleron between the rivers Nestos and (Hebros).
