Peter I Karadjordjevic (1844-1921), born in Belgrade, became Serbia's first constitutional monarch - elected by parliament - in the aftermath of the 1903 military coup that resulted in the overthrow of the Obrenovic dynasty, returning from exile to take his place as King.
With Serbia's epic defeat towards the close of 1915 at the hands of combined Austro-Hungarian, German and Bulgarian forces led by Mackensen, King Peter had to be carried (along with similarly ill Putnik) through the wintry mountains of Albania to Corfu.
In December 1918 Peter reappeared briefly to accept his position as monarch of the newly declared state of (what was to become) Yugoslavia.
