 Petar II Petrovic Njegos
Njegos never went to school abroad, nor to a regular school at home, for there was none in the whole of the country.
Njegos was a perfectly balanced nature, and it is not surprising to find from his works that his spirit was as much romantic as classical.
Njegos clung too closely lo the facts of history, with the result that the freedom of his poetic creation was hampered.

 Montenet - History of Montenegro: Prince Danilo I Petrovic (1852-1860)
Prior to the determination of Njegos successor, after making peace between Crmnica and Katunjani tribes, and being recognized by Brda and all Montenegrin tribes except for Bjelopavlici, Danilo traveled to Vienna and then Russia, supposedly to be ordained as Vladika, not Prince.
Danilo used the Law of Petar I Petrovic (Zakonik Petra I), as an inspiration for his own General Law of the Land (Opsti zemaljski zakonik or Danilov Zakonik).
Danilo's forces also committed atrocities in Bjelopavlici, but the damage was limited by giving high ranks to the Bjelopavlici's rebel leaders.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Montenegro
In 1696 Danilo Petrovic, of the Njegos family, was elected vladika, and made the episcopal dignity hereditary in his house, the vladika, who as bishop could not marry, being succeeded on his death by his nephew or brother.
He was succeeded by Peter II Petrovic (1830-51), who was educated at St. Petersburg; this monarch, who was a distinguished poet, rendered valuable services to his country by raising its intellectual and commercial condition.
In 1860 Danilo was shot by a Montenegrin deserter, and, as he left behind only a daughter two years old, his widow secured on 14 August, 1860, the election of the youngest son of Danilo's brother, who still reigns.

 History
With the year 1697, when the Montenegrin Convention elected vladika Danilo I - the first ruler of the Petrovic dynasty, began the organized struggle for a political and religious unity of the country, often broken with the conflicts among its clans and with the islamisation of the population.
Prince Danilo attributed more importance to turning towards the West which, after the great military victory over the Turks at Grahovac in 1858 and the fixing of the state borders of Montenegro recognised by the representatives of the great powers at the Constantinople Conference in 1858, resulted in the formal recognition of Montenegrin sovereignty.
Immediately after World War II broke out, the country fell apart under the assault og Germany and Italy, and close to 10% of the population of Montenegro suffered loss of life from their occupational armies, from nationalistic and fascist units formed locally, as well as in revolutionary and ideological clashes during the liberation struggle.

Vladika Danilo charged on its breast the Great Arms of the Petrovic-Njegos family (shield, crown, mantling), while his successor vladika Sava made major changes to the coat of arms: removed the family Great Arms from the eagle's breast, and added the scepter and saru ("the imperial egg") in its claws.
Prince Danilo also reorganized the Coat of Arms: he charged on the golden eagle's breast the shield where on the blue background the golden lion passant was on green ground.
In the time of Prince Danilo, the cross on the alaj-barjak was replaced by the two-headed eagle with the initials DI (Danilo I) on its breast, with the lion passant underneath.
