Jevrem Obrenović
Serbian noble (1790-1856)
Gospodar Jevrem Teodorović Obrenović, Grand Prince of Šabac (18 March 1790 – 20 September 1856) was a Serbian politician and revolutionary who served as Prime Minister of Serbia from 1821 to 1826. He was the younger brother of Prince Miloš Obrenović I of Serbia, the founder of the Obrenović dynasty.
Early life
Jevrem's mother Višnja Urošević (d. 1817) was married twice, first to Obren Martinović, with whom she had three children. After the death of Obren, she married a poor widower, Teodor Mihailović, in the village of Dobrinja. Višnja and Teodor had three sons: Miloš, Jovan and Jevrem. Teodor Mihailović died in 1802, leaving the family in poverty. A few years later, the older brothers, Jakov and Milan, took their mother and half-siblings to live on their estate.
Milan Obrenović had a great influence on the upbringing and development of his two younger brothers; as evidenced by the fact that Miloš, Jovan and Jevrem took on their half-brother's surname Obrenović.
Serbian Revolution
Active in the Serbian independence movement from his youth, Jevrem travelled to Ostružnica to sell oxen for weapons and ammunition.

Why this record matters
The phrase “serbian noble (1790-1856)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q749422. VIAF identifies the subject as 305440397. The Library of Congress control number is nb2013020816. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1790, 1856, 1821 and 1826.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
