         hm


         where our village got the name Kralevo.


         Well, they didn’t ask.


         [laughter]


         about our village …


         [laughter]


         why the village has the name Kralevo. I remember this


         from my grandfather. There’s this, they say,


         this “Kavak” (poplar) district. “Kavak” means “topola” (poplar).


         Yes


         And somewhere up there, close by that which we call


         Balkan villages, there was another “Poplar [village]”. But our village


         gets its name from – Here is this high place up at the top,


         it’s called “Krŭklare” (“The Forty”), “Krŭklare”.


         “Krɤklare”


         It seems to me that this is – “kɤrk” –


         [that] means “forty”, doesn’t it, Lenche?


         [Yes,] “kŭrk” is “forty.” Right?


         Forty.


         Yes, that’s right.


         Forty kings.


         It’s told that back in the old days here, supposedly


         in the Turkish times when there was some “Kralyo the rebel”.


         [unintelligible]


         the rebel leader.” I know this from my grandfather, my grandfather:


         [the tale] that there were some Bulgarians here,


         each [of them] lived somewhere around here in some town quarter


         and there was some little boy and he was called “Kralyo”


         And he was a very – he grew up into a strong, hot-tempered fellow.


         And they went out and put on a fair, with wrestling [matches],


         they wrestled. Because …


         Hm.


         … Turks are more into wrestling, they came out [and said],


         “Isn’t there some infidel here who’ll come out and wrestle a bit?”


         And [our boy] had an uncle who said “Get up, Kralyo, get up


         and try your luck. If they get the better of you,” he said, “then they do.


         But if a Bulgarian is strong as well, let him come out [and fight].” Fine.


         So he, the Bulgarian, came out strong and defeated the Turks – the Turkish wrestlers.


         They took a hatred to him and said “How could this [happen]?


         We have to have our revenge on him.” His house was at the end of the village.


         He had some kids (the boy had gotten married),


         and the Turks attacked [the house], but he wasn’t there.


         They set fire to his house.


         They set fire to his house, and he, since he’d been elsewhere

         his house all burnt down, he got angry and became this rebel leader –

         Kralyo the rebel, [in] Mugla.


         He lived a long time, and supposedly he died as far away as –


         they trampled him – in short, he died in the Smolyan area.


         What’s the name, Lenche? Was it Raykovo?


         I don’t know, [it was] somewhere.


         Yes, Raykovo


         [unintelligible]


         Was it Nastan?


         Kralyo the rebel leader


         Yes, Kralyo the rebel leader, that’ll be it. And from here. Didn’t I tell you?


         when the Turks attacked him, and he was still here with his wife


         and when his house burned down, he got out of here
