Milan Obrenović II (Serbian: Милан Обреновић) (October 21, 1819 – July 8, 1839) in Kragujevac, in the Principality of Serbia. He was the ruling Prince of Serbia for less than two weeks in 1839.

Early life

Prince Milan Obrenović was the eldest son and heir of Miloš Obrenović I, Prince of Serbia. He was ill from his earliest childhood and his health was poor throughout his entire life. He was a student of the Belgrade Higher School, today's University of Belgrade. He had a full curriculum of study, including French and German languages. In 1830, when Serbia obtained its autonomy, Prince Milan became the designated heir of his father.

Prince of Serbia

His father Prince Miloš abdicated on June 13, 1839 in favour of Milan. Since Prince Milan "ruled" for only 26 days, no public documents were issued under his name. He died on 8 July 1839, having never regained consciousness. After his death his brother Prince Mihailo (Кнез Михаило) succeeded to the throne, as Mihailo Obrenović III. Later that year "The first regency" was formed in Serbia.

Prince Milan was buried in the church of Palilula and later his grave was moved to St. Mark's Church in Belgrade.

Due to his illness, and the short period of his rule, it is possible that Milan was never aware that he had become ruler.
