Teodosije Mraović
Teodosije Mraović (1815–1891) was the Metropolitan of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Kingdom of Serbia from 1883 to 1889. Mraović was a hierarch from Vojvodina before moving to Serbia in 1843, and eventually taking over the post of the sacked Metropolitan of Belgrade Mihailo Jovanović. Biography Teodosije studied philosophy in Budapest and theology at Sremski Karlovci and entered a monastic order at the Rakovica Monastery, near Belgrade. As there were no bishops in Serbia proper willing to consecrate him as the Metropolitan, he was forced to return to northern Serbian lands, then under Austrian rule, in Sremski Karlovci, where patriarch German Anđelić, with the express approval of the Austrian Emperor, performed the necessary rites. The Serbian bishops were subsequently replaced with new appointees: another professor of the Belgrade Seminary, Nestor, born in Kragujevac, was appointed Bishop of Niš; the Sremski Karlovci born archimandrite of the Hopovo Monastery, Samuilo ...

19th-century Eastern Orthodox Theologians
The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the la ...

Milan I unexpectedly abdicated in favor of his son, Alexander I of Serbia, in 1889. Early years Birth and infancy in exile Milan Obrenović was born in 1854 in Mărășești, Moldavia where his family had lived in exile ever since the 1842 return of the rival House of Karađorđević to the Serbian throne when they managed to depose Milan's cousin Prince Mihailo Obrenović III. Milan was the son of Miloš Obrenović (1829–1861) and his Moldavian wife Marija Obrenović, née Elena Maria Catargiu.

Romanian "negoț" or Spanish "negocios"), and the fact that Negotin is in a region with the presence of a significant Romanian minority, similarily to its namesake Negotino in North Macedonia with an Aromanian presence. # There is also the Slavonic origin hypothesis:, Proto-Slavonic "''něga''" (нѣгa) means "care" and the suffix "-ota//-otina" means "the action undergone or carried out", thus rendering Negotin as "a place of retreat for healing", and the city histori ...
