king of See also:Servia, was See also:born on the 22nd of See also:August 1854, at See also:Jassy. He was the See also:grand-See also:nephew of the famous Milosh, whose See also:brother Jefrem (d. 1856) had a son, Milosh (1829-1861), who married Maria Katardzi, a Moldavian. Milan was their son. While still very See also:young, he lost both his parents, and was adopted by his See also:cousin, See also:Michael Obrenovich, who returned to Servia on the See also:expulsion of the Karageorgeviches in 1858 and became ruling See also:prince on the See also:death of his See also:father, Milosh, in 186o. During the reign of Michael young Milan was educated in See also:Paris, at the Lycee Louisle-Grand, where he displayed considerable precocity, but he was only fourteen years of See also:age when in 1868 his cousin was assassinated and he succeeded to the See also:throne under a regency. In 1872 he was declared of age, and taking the reins of See also:government into his own hands, soon manifested See also:great intellectual See also:power, coupled with a passionate headstrong See also:character.

time, found him " a very remarkable young See also:man . . . singularly intelligent and well-informed." By a careful balancing of the See also:Austrian and See also:Russian parties in Servia, with a judicious leaning towards the former, Prince Milan was enabled in 1878, at the end of the See also:Turkish See also:War, to induce the See also:Porte to acknowledge his See also:independence, and was proclaimed king in 1882. (The See also:history of his reign is told in detail under SERVIA.) Acting under Austrian See also:influence, King Milan devoted all his energies to the improvement or means of ccmmunication and the development of natural resources, but the cost, which was unduly increased by reckless extravagance, led to proportionately heavy See also:taxation. This, coupled with increased military service, rendered King Milan and the Austrian party most unpopular; and his See also:political troubles were further increased by the defeat of the Servians in the war against See also:Bulgaria, 1885-86. In 1885 (See also:Sept.) the See also:union of See also:Rumelia and Bulgaria caused widespread agitation in Servia, and Milan precipitately declared war upon his kinsman Prince See also:Alexander on the 15th of See also:November. After
a See also:short but decisive See also:campaign, the Servians were utterly routed at the battles of Slivinska and See also:Pirot, and Milan's throne was only saved by the See also:direct intervention of See also:Austria. Domestic difficulties now arose which rapidly assumed a political significance. In See also:October 1875 King Milan had married Natalie, the sixteen-years-old daughter of See also:- PETER

Peter Ivanovich Ketchko, a Moldavian See also:Boyar, who was a See also:colonel in the Russian See also:army, and whose wife, Pulcheria, was by See also:birth Princess See also:Sturdza. A son, Alexander, was born in 1876, but the king and See also:queen showed signs of See also:friction. Milan was anything but a faithful See also:husband. Queen Natalie was greatly influenced by Russian sympathies; and the couple, See also:ill-assorted both personally and politically, separated in 1886, when the queen withdrew from the See also:kingdom, taking with her the young prince, Alexander, afterwards king, then ten years of age. While she was residing at See also:Wiesbaden in 1888, King Milan succeeded in recovering the See also:crown prince, whom he undertook to educate; and in reply to the queen's remonstrances, he exerted considerable pressure upon the See also:metropolitan, and procured a See also:divorce, which was afterwards annulled as illegal. King Milan now seemed See also:master of the situation, and on the 3rd of See also:January 1889 promulgated a new constitution much more liberal than the existing one of 1869. Two months later (See also:March 6) he suddenly abdicated in favour of his son, a step for which no satisfactory See also:reason was assigned, and settled as a private individual in Paris. In See also:February 1891 a See also:Radical See also:ministry was formed, Queen Natalie and the ex-metropolitan Michael returned to See also:Belgrade, and Austrian influence began to give way to Russian. Fear of a revolution and of King Milan's return led to a See also:compromise, by which in May 1891 the queen was expelled, and Milan was allowed a million francs from the See also:civil See also:list, on See also:condition of not returning to Servia during his son's minority. Milan in March 1892 renounced all his rights, and even his Servian See also:nationality. The situation altered, how-ever, after the young King Alexander in See also:April 1893 had effected his coup d'etat and taken the reins of government into his hands. Servian politics began to grow more complicated, and Russian intrigue was rife. In January 1894 Milan suddenly appeared at Belgrade, and his son gladly availed himself of his experience and See also:advice. On the 29th of April a royal See also:decree reinstated Milan and Natalie, who in the meantime had become ostensibly reconciled, in their position as members of the royal See also:family. On the 21st of May the constitution of 1869 was restored, and Milan continued to exercise considerable influence over his son. The queen, who had been residing chiefly at See also:Biarritz, returned to Belgrade in May 1895, after four years' See also:absence, and was greeted by the populace with great See also:enthusiasm. In 1897 Milan was appointed See also:commander-in-See also:chief of the Servian army. In this capacity he did some of the best See also:work of his See also:life, and his success in improving the Servian military See also:system was very marked. His relations with the young king also remained See also:good, and for a time it seemed as though all Russian intrigues were being checked. The good relations between father and son were interrupted, however, by the latter's See also:marriage in See also:July 1900. Milan violently opposed the match, and resigned his See also:post as commander-inchief;. and the young king banished him from Servia and threw himself into the arms of See also:Russia. Milan retired to See also:Vienna, and there he died unexpectedly on the 11th of February 1901. Milan was an able, though headstrong man, but he lived a scandalously irregular life, and was devoid of moral principle. In considering his relations with his young son, it must be remembered that in the dynastic and political condition of Servia natural feeling was inevitably subordinated in Milan to other considerations.

MIL& Y FONTANALS, See also:MANUEL (1818—1884), See also:Spanish See also:scholar, born at Villafranca del Panades, near See also:Barcelona, on the 4th of May 1818, was educated first at Barcelona, and afterwards at the university of See also:Cervera. In 1845 he became See also:professor of literature at the university of Barcelona, and held this post till his death at Villafranca del Panades on the 16th of July 1884. The type of the scholarly recluse, Mila y Fontanals was almost unknown outside the walls of the university till 1859, when he was appointed See also:president of the juegos florales at Barcelona.
On the publication of his See also:treatise, De Los trovadores en Espana (1866), his merits became more generally recognized, and his monograph, De La poesia heroico-popular castellana (1873) revealed him to See also:foreign scholars as a master of scientific method.
