BalkanTourist , i think there is a missunderstanding : i think Edyzmedieval meant :( "Basil II the Macedonian" or "Basil II the Bulgar slayer").

Of course i agree with u for the nationality of Macedons.

Anyway,the fact is the Adjuctive "Macedonian" refered to the Dynasty,but wasnt used for Basil II,edyz.
It was used only for Basil I the Macedon ,the founder of the Dynasty(867).
