Draft:Milos Saranovac

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Miloš Radojković-Saranovac (Saranovo, Rača, Ottoman Serbia, c. 1770 - Saranovo, Principality of Serbia, after 1831) was a Serbian voivode during the First Serbian Uprising.[1]

Biography

[edit]

During the Serbian uprising, Miloš Radojković preferred the name his subordinates called him -- Miloš Saranovac. Miloš was the voivode of Kruševac nahija, from the time of the First Serbian Uprising. In addition to other documents, Miloš is mentioned in Karađorđe's executive protocol on 23 December 1812 and 6 January 1813.

In 1812 , by the decision of the Governing Council of Revolutionary Serbia Saranovac was appointed the new duke of Lepenica principality of the Kragujevac nahija. Voivode Miloš replaced Pavle Cukić who was dismissed for abuses in the performance of his duties.[2]

The surname Saranovac is toponymic and in war time became a pseudonym as well. It testifies to the further origin of Miloš Radojković's family from the town of Saranovo, which is located in Šumadija, more precisely not far from Rača.[3]

In 1813, when the Ottomans quelled the First Serbian Uprising after a decade of almost continuous fighting, Miloš Saranovac received orders to move his family to Hotin in Bessarabia. Undoubtedly, before that he spent some time on the territory of the Habsburg Monarchy.

Among the Serbian families that returned from the Russian Empire (probably mainly from Bessarabia) to Serbia in 1831 was the household of Miloš Saranovac. His wife Stana and son Jovan lived with him in Serbia.
