Answer
Simeon I, Tsar of Bulgaria, dreamed of becoming Patriarch of Constantinople, but his dream was dashed in 927 when the Byzantines rejected his candidacy. The Byzantines did not want to elevate a foreign ruler to one of the highest positions in their church, and they were also wary of Simeon's ambitions to expand his empire.
