Nikola I Petrović-Njegoš ( sr-Cyrl, Никола I Петровић-Његош; – 1 March 1921) was the last monarch of Montenegro from 1860 to 1918, reigning as prince from 1860 to 1910 and as the country's first and only king from 1910 to 1918. His grandsons were kings Alexander I of Yugoslavia and Umberto II of Italy, among others. Biography Early life Nikola was born in the village of Njeguši, the home of the reigning House of Petrović. He was the son of Mirko Petrović-Njegoš, a celebrated Montenegrin warrior (an elder brother to Danilo I of Montenegro) and his wife, Anastasija Martinovich (1824–1895).

Martinovitch-Orlovitch
The Martinovitch-Orlovitch family is a noble family originating in the medieval Serbia. History They are descendants of the ancient Orlovitch family and one of Serbia's great heroes, Paul Orlovitch, the Serbian flag-bearer at the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. One of the most famous members of this family was Obren Martinovitch who led the Serbian uprising against the Ottoman Empire and started the Obrenovitch dynasty that would rule Serbia until their assassination by the Black Hand and replacement by the Karageorgevitch family. Through marriage of Anastasia Martinovitch-Orlovitch (1824-1895) into the Montenegrin royal family, Martinovitch-Orlovitch blood can be found in the royal families of Montenegro, Serbia, Russia, and Italy. Though the use of titles of nobility (in the traditional sense) in the Balkans is somewhat disputed, the members of the family carry the title of voyévode (''vojvoda'', loosely translated as duke), though several members had carried the title of kn ...

House Of Petrović
A house is a single-unit residential building. It may range in complexity from a rudimentary hut to a complex structure of wood, masonry, concrete or other material, outfitted with plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.Schoenauer, Norbert (2000). ''6,000 Years of Housing'' (rev. ed.) (New York: W.W. Norton & Company). Houses use a range of different roofing systems to keep precipitation such as rain from getting into the dwelling space. Houses generally have doors or locks to secure the dwelling space and protect its inhabitants and contents from burglars or other trespassers. Most conventional modern houses in Western cultures will contain one or more bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. A house may have a separate dining room, or the eating area may be integrated into the kitchen or another room. Some large houses in North America have a recreation room. In traditional agriculture-oriented societies, domes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
