Born in the early 9th century, Enravota was the elder brother of Malamir of Bulgaria, who succeeded their father Omurtag to the Bulgarian throne in 831.

Enravota was possibly deprived of the throne because he favoured Christianity, which the boyars feared might endanger the court.

Once informed of his brother's deeds, Malamir attempted to make him renounce Christianity, but did not succeed.

In any case, the Sign of Christ will establish itself and churches of God will be built everywhere and pure priests will serve the pure God and will deliver "sacrifice of praise and confession" to the invigorating Trinity.

Besides, you alone (to Malamir), after many years, will cast away your ungodly soul without receiving anything in reward for your cruelty.In the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, Enravota's feast day is 28 March.
