Petar II Petrović-Njegoš

Died in 1851

Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, born Radivoje Petrović, was born in 1813 in the village of Njeguši. On the death of his uncle Petar I, in 1830, he became prince-bishop of Montenegro, then was consecrated metropolitan in Saint Petersburg in 1833. He gave the country a senate, a guard and a regular tax, despite the resistance of the clans. A poet nourished by Serbian folklore, he died in Cetinje in 1851; his remains were transferred to Mount Lovćen, where his mausoleum stands.
