Draft:Milovan Grbović

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Milovan Grbović (Serbian Cyrillic: Милован Грбовић; Mratišić near Valjevo[1][2] 1765-1808) was a knez and voivode in the First Serbian Uprising.[1]

Even before the uprising, he helped his elderly father Nikola Obor-knez of the Kolubara principality in the Valjevo Nahiya to run the affairs of the district. He was a participant in the fights against the attempt of Osman Pazvantoğlu to rule the Belgrade pashalik.[3]

From the beginning of the uprising, he was at the head of the army of the Kolubara principality, and then he became a knez. He took part in the battles for the liberation of Valjevo, in the Siege of Belgrade in 1806, and mostly in the battles on the Drina, where he stood out in 1806 (Čučuge, Bratačić, etc.)

In 1804 he was captured by the Turks along with his father Nikola and Ilija Birčanin.[3] They set Milovan free and sometime later his father but not before they blinded him.[4]

Milovan Grbović was killed in battle in 1808.[3]
