Monument to Milos Obrenovic I (1783-1860), prince of Serbia, in Belgrade, Serbia
Milos Obrenovic (18 March 1780 or 1783 - 26 September 1860) born Milos Teodorovis, also known as Milos the Great was the Prince of Serbia twice, from 1815 to 1839, and from 1858 to 1860. He was an eminent figure of the First Serbian uprising, the leader of the Second Serbian uprising, and the founder of the House of Obrenovic. Under his rule, Serbia became an autonomous principality within the Ottoman Empire. Prince Milos was an autocrat, consistently refusing to decentralize power, which gave rise to a strong internal opposition. During his rule, Milos the Great bought a certain number of estates and ships from the Ottomans and was also a prominent trader. Despite his humble background, he eventually became the most affluent man in Serbia and one of the wealthiest in the Balkan peninsula, possessing estates in Vienna, Serbia and Wallachia.
