King of See also:Montenegro and the Berda, was See also:born at the See also:village of Niegush, the See also:ancient See also:home of the reigning See also:family of Petrovitch-Niegush, on the 25th of See also:September 1841. His See also:father, Mirko Petrovitch, a celebrated Montenegrin See also:warrior, was See also:elder See also:brother to Danilo II., who See also:left no male off-See also:spring. After 1696, when the dignity of vladika, or See also:prince-See also:bishop, became hereditary in the Petrovitch family, the See also:sovereign See also:power had descended from See also:uncle to See also:nephew, the vladikas belonging to the See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order of the " See also:black See also:clergy " who are forbidden to marry. A See also:change was introduced by Danilo II., who declined the episcopal See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, married and declared the principality hereditary in the See also:direct male See also:line. Mirko Petrovitch having resigned his claim to the See also:throne, his son was nominated See also:heir, and the old See also:system of See also:succession was thus accidentally continued. Prince Nicholas, who had been trained from See also:infancy in See also:martial and athletic exercises, spent a portion of his See also:early boyhood at See also:Trieste in the See also:household of the Kuetitch family, to which his aunt, the princess Darinka, wife of Danilo II., belonged. The princess was an ardent See also:advocate of See also:French culture, and at her See also:suggestion the See also:young heir of the vladikas was sent to the See also:academy of See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis le See also:Grand in See also:Paris. Unlike his contemporary, King See also:Milan of See also:Servia, Prince Nicholas was little influenced in his tastes and habits by his Parisian See also:education; the young mountaineer, whose keen patriotism, capability for leadership and poetic talents early displayed themselves, showed no inclination for the pleasures of the French See also:capital, and eagerly looked forward to returning to his native See also:land. He was still in Paris when, in consequence of the assassination of his uncle, he succeededas prince (See also:August 13, r86o). In 1862 Montenegro was engaged in an unfortunate struggle with See also:Turkey; the prince distinguished himself during the See also:campaign, and on one occasion narrowly escaped with his See also:life. In the See also:period of See also:peace which followed he carried out a See also:series of military, administrative and educational reforms. In 1867 he met the See also:emperor See also:Napoleon III. at Paris, and in 1868 he undertook a See also:journey to See also:Russia, where he received an affectionate welcome from the See also:tsar, See also:Alexander II. He afterwards visited the courts of See also:Berlin and See also:Vienna. His efforts to enlist the sympathies of the See also:Russian imperial family were productive of important results for Montenegro; consider-able subventions were granted by the tsar and tsaritsa for educational and other purposes, and supplies of arms and See also:ammunition were sent to See also:Cettigne. In 1871 Prince Dolgorouki arrived at Montenegro on a See also:special See also:mission from the tsar, and distributed large sums of See also:money among the See also:people. In 1869 Prince Nicholas, whose authority was now firmly established, succeeded in preventing the impetuous mountaineers from aiding the Krivoshians in their revolt against the See also:Austrian See also:government (see See also:CATTARO); similarly in 1897 he checked the martial excitement caused by the outbreak of the See also:Greco-See also:Turkish See also:War. In 1876 he declared war against Turkey; his military reputation was enhanced by the ensuing campaign, and still more by that of 1877-78, during which he captured Nikshitch, See also:Antivari and See also:Dulcigno. The war resulted in a considerable See also:extension of the Montenegrin frontier and the acquisition of a seaboard on the Adriatic. In 1883 Prince Nicholas visited the See also:sultan, with whom he subsequently maintained the most cordial relations; in 1896 he celebrated the bicentenary of the Petrovitch See also:dynasty, and in the same See also:year he attended the See also:coronation of the tsar Nicholas II.; in May 1898 he visited See also:Queen See also:Victoria at See also:Windsor. In 1900 he assumed the See also:title of " Royal See also:Highness." On the 28th of August 19ro, during the celebration of his See also:jubilee, he assumed the title of king, in accordance with a See also:petition from the Skupshtina. He was at the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

field-See also:marshal in the Russian See also:army, an See also:honour never previously conferred on any foreigner except the See also:great See also:duke of See also:Wellington. The descendant of a See also:long See also:lint of warriors, gifted with a See also:fine physique and a commanding presence, a successful military See also:leader and a graceful poet, King Nicholas possessed many characteristics which awoke the See also:enthusiasm of the impressionable Servian See also:race, while his merits as a statesman received See also:general recognition. His system of government, which may be described as a benevolent despotism, was perhaps that best suited to the See also:character of his subjects. His See also:historical dramas, poems and See also:ballads hold a recognized See also:place in contemporary See also:Slavonic literature; among them are—Balkanska Tzaritza and Kniaz Arvaniti (dramas); Haidana, Potini Abenserage and Pesnik i Vila (poems); Skupliene Pesme and Nova See also:Kola (See also:miscellaneous songs). In See also:November 186o Prince Nicholas married Milena, daughter of the voievode Petar Vukotitch. Of his three sons, the eldest, Prince Danilo, married (See also:July 27, 1899) Duchess Jutta (Militza) of See also:Mecklenburg-See also:Strelitz; of his six daughters, Princess Militza married the Grand Duke See also:- PETER
