DOES ONLY A GOOD HUSBAND MAKE A GREAT RULER? THE DIVORCE OF KING MILAN AND PUBLIC OPINION

Summary/Abstract: This article explores the public attitude towards the divorce of King Milan. In the mid-1880s the divorce of the Serbian monarch became a key political issue which attracted attention of both the political and general public. The majority of the public sided with the queen, condemning the king for his moral impropriety. Political parties took the opportunity to further undermine the reputation of the unpopular monarch. Public opinion could not prevent the king from divorce but, in the end, negative publicity which had emerged in the divorce case contributed to his abdication.
