  Nicholas Of Montenegro - LoveToKnow 1911
NICHOLAS (1841-), King of Montenegro and the Berda, was born at the village of Niegush, the ancient home of the reigning family of Petrovitch-Niegush, on the 25th of September 1841.
In 1862 Montenegro was engaged in an unfortunate struggle with Turkey; the prince distinguished himself during the campaign, and on one occasion narrowly escaped with his life.
In 1869 Prince Nicholas, whose authority was now firmly established, succeeded in preventing the impetuous mountaineers from aiding the Krivoshians in their revolt against the Austrian government (see CATTARO); similarly in 1897 he checked the martial excitement caused by the outbreak of the Greco-Turkish War.

Nicholas complied with the note, happily at first, since the Turks were being very difficult in the south and he did not want to thin his troops by sending them north.
Nicholas sent a reply to Giesl, explaining on the one hand that Scutari depended on San Giovanni, and on the other that he had no troops there, suggesting instead that Albanian irregulars were there.
Nicholas knew his troops would never be used in fighting but the show of alliance with his big Serb brother was important to keeping his throne—he still feared the Serbs and the ever-stronger pan-Serbian propaganda floating around the country.
