    Decorations of Prince Miloš Obrenović


    Recommended Posts

    I've made separate topics about decorations of kings Milan and Aleksandar Obrenović and now I'll continue with Miloš. In the future I plan to do the same for some other Serbian rulers, namely Mihailo Obrenović and prince Aleksandar Karađorđević, Karađorđe's son.

    Portrait by Uroš Knežević from 1835. Miloš is wearing Russian Order of St. Anna with Crown 1st Class, possibly Order of St. Anna with Brilliants 2nd Class and Ottoman Nişan-ı Zişan. 
    Apart from that we can see Russian Golden Saber for Bravery presented to his half-brother, vojvoda Milan Obrenović, by prince Bagration on December 21, 1809 (January 3, 1810). The saber is kept at the Belgrade Military Museum, more information about it can be found here.

    Two very similar portraits, I'd say the first one is "original" with some changes done on the second one - Miloš's dress is blue and the sash is for St. Anna. I presume that's the case here because on the rest of the portraits Miloš wears the sash of St. Anna according to regulations, over the left shoulder, while the Iron Crown sash should be worn over the right shoulder...
