Miloš Obrenović I (Serbian: Милош Обреновић I, romanized: Miloš Obrenović I; pronounced [mîloʃ obrěːnoʋit͡ɕ]; 18 March 1780 – 26 September 1860), born Miloš Teodorović (Serbian: Милош Теодоровић; pronounced [mîloʃ teodǒːroʋit͡ɕ]), also known as Miloš the Great (Serbian: Милош Велики, romanized: Miloš Veliki) was the Prince of Serbia twice, from 1815 to 1839, and from 1858 to 1860. He was an eminent figure of the First Serbian uprising, the leader of the Second Serbian uprising, and the founder of the house of Obrenović. Under his rule, Serbia became an autonomous principality within the Ottoman Empire. Prince Miloš was an autocrat, consistently refusing to decentralize power, which gave rise to a strong internal opposition. Despite his humble background, he eventually became the most affluent man in Serbia and one of the wealthiest in the Balkans, possessing estates in Vienna, Serbia and Wallachia. During his rule, Miloš bought a certain number of estates and ships from the Ottomans and was also a prominent trader.
