| 7 | Prince | Alexander of Serbia | 1806 | 1885 | Persida Nenadovich | 1813 | 1873 | The history of Serbia in the 19 th and 20 th Century is somewhat complex due to rivalry between two feuding families from the Houses of Karageorgievich and Obrenovich. Prince
Alexander was from the House of Karageorgievich and a son of Djordje (Black George) Petrovic (1752-1817) founder of the Karadjordjevic dynasty. Prince Alexander was elected Prince of Serbia in 1842 but was forced to abdicate
in 1859 in favour of Prince Milosh (1780-1860) from the House of Obrenovich. Serbia which became a Kingdom in 1882 was ruled by the House of Obrenovich until 10 June 1903 when its King, Alexander I (1876-1903) and his wife
Queen Draga were murdered in their palace during an army revolt. The rule of Serbia returned to the House of Karageorgievich in the shape of Peter I The New York Times article on the Obrenovich and Karageorgievich origination. An interesting paper on Serbia’s Statehood. |

(from the unrelated House of Obrenovich) and his wife Queen Draga in their palace during an army revolt. The coronation of Peter took place on 21 September 1904 which to some extent was boycotted by the other European Royal Families.

renounced his right to the throne in March
1909 on account of him being
accused of the killing of a servant. It was reported in 1906 he had gone insane. Some of his escapades were reported in The New York Times in 1908. And ... even labelled as "Europe's Worst Boy". In October 1922 he refused the offer by his younger brother King Alexander of a pension of $12,000 a year. |

| 7.54 | King | Alexander I of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes | 1888 | 1934 | Princess | Marie "Mignon" of Roumania | 1900 | 1961 | See 6.123 - The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia on 3 October 1929. King Alexander
along with the French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou was assassinated on 9 October 1934 in Marseilles at the start of a state visit to France by
Velucko Kerin (there are various names attributed to the assassin) a Macedonian revolutionary, working with Croat revolutionists.
The assassin who was shot during the affray died a few hours later. Marie escaped possible assassination as she was recovering from an illness and being a poor sailor had travelled separately from Yugoslavia to France by train.
For strategic purposes Alexander had travelled by boat from Yugoslavia to Marseilles and was due to meet up with his wife in Dijon/Lyon for the final journey to Paris. The assassination of King Alexander was captured on film. An interesting account of the life of Marie "Mignon" which was published shortly after her marriage to Alexander. Queen Marie was buried in the Royal Burial Grounds at Frogmore. On 27 April 2013 Queen Marie’s remains were transferred from the Royal Burial Ground to St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church in London from where on 29 th April they were transferred to Belgrade, Serbia to join with her son King Peter II in the "Royal Chapel of St. Andrew the First Called" who's remains were transferred from Illinois, United States in 22 January 2013.

Footage of Peter as the new school boy King in 1934 leaving the Yugoslav Legation in London to meet his mother in Paris following the assassination of Peter's father King Alexander I at Marseilles.

Sam Dotson was kind enough to respond " The excellent genealogical table of the Karageorgevich family which appears in the book - Rodoslovne Tabelitse i Grbovi - published by Nova Kniga, Belgrade, 1987 confirms that the husband of Princess Jelena, Djordje Simic (1843-1921), was, in fact, prime minister ("ministar predcednik")." | ||
