Alexander Karađorđević, Prince of Serbia

Aleksandar Karadjordjević ( Serbian Cyrillic Александар Карађорђевић; * October 11, 1806 in Topola, † May 3, 1886 in Temesvár ) was from 1842 to 1858 Serb prince.

Aleksandar Karadjordjević ( for readability with German briefs: Karadjordjević ) was born in 1806 in Topola in Serbia. His father was Đorđe Petrović called Karađorđe, the leader of the First Serbian Uprising, his mother Jelena Jovanović was born.

After the dismissal of Prince Miloš Obrenović and Mihailo by the Serbian Skupština, Parliament, was Aleksandar Karadjordjević 1842 Serbian prince. During his legislature, the civil code of Serbia in 1844 introduced ( civil law codification ), and the prime minister Ilija Garašanin authored with Načertanije the first political program of Serbia, inter alia, the liberation of the Serbs from the Ottoman and Austrian rule and their association common in a State foresaw.

The government Aleksandar Karadjordjević was not successful as a whole, because the power in the state, the Ustavobranitelji, the so-called constitutional protection to the minister Ilija Vucic Perisic had Garašanin and Toma. When it came to a political crisis in the Principality of Serbia, Aleksandar Karadjordjević was held responsible and was forced to abdicate in 1858. Instead of him, the aged Miloš Obrenović was employed as a prince again. Aleksandar Karadjordjević even had to leave Serbia. To what extent he was in 1868 in conjunction with the bombers to Prince Mihailo Obrenović, will not be resolved despite all the conjecture. The former prince died in 1886 in exile in Temesvár in what was then Hungary and present-day Romania and was buried in Topola near Belgrade.

Alexander's son and heir to the throne Prince Peter temporary Karadjordjević returned after decades of exile as Peter I finally returned to power: He was King of Serbia in 1903 and 1918, the first king of the state of Yugoslavia was to be called later.
