Marko Miljanov

Died in 1901

Marko Miljanov Popović was born on 25 April 1833 in Medun. A chief of the Kuči clan, he led it in arms against the Ottoman Empire and was one of the commanders at the battle of Fundina. At odds with Prince Nikola, he left the Council of State in 1882 and withdrew to his village. Almost illiterate, he learned to write at around fifty in order to preserve the memory of the heroes he had known. He died in Herceg Novi on 2 February 1901, before his books appeared.
