Karadjordjevic

The Karadjordjevićs are a Serbian dynasty, descended from Karadjordje. They had a long feud with the Obrenović dynasty. The dynasty lost the throne in November 1945 when Yugoslavia became a republic.

The ruling members were:

• Aleksandar (reigned 1842-1858),
• Petar I (reigned 1903-1918),
• Aleksandar (reigned 1921-1934), and
• Petar II Karadjordjević, the last king, reigning from March 27, 1941 to November 29, 1945.

Between Aleksandar and Petar I there were Miloš Obrenović (1858-1860) the founder of the Obrenović dynasty, Mihailo Obrenović (1862-1868), Milan Obrenović (grand duke 1868-1882 and king 1882-1889), and Aleksandar Obrenović (1889-1903), following his assassination Petar Karadjordjević was crowned king.

Karadjordjevićs are politically active in Serbia, supporting the view that it should become a kingdom again.
