Petar Teodorović (Serbian Cyrillic: Петар Теодоровић; 1771–1831),[1] known as Petar Dobrnjac (Петар Добрњац) was a Serbian Vojvoda in the First Serbian Uprising. He was born in the Požarevac nahija, in the village of Dobrnje, Petrovac.[2] In his youth, he was a hajduk, and later a trader in farm animals. He had a brother Stevan Dobrnjac who with Marko Todorović launched a short-lived revolt against Miloš Obrenović in 1821.[3]
Role in the Uprising
[edit]In 1804, the year of the First Serbian Uprising, he was a Buljubaša, the commander of a četa (company), under Milenko Stojković.[4] In 1805 he took part in the Battle of Ivankovac against Hafuz Pasha.[5] On his initiative Serbs came to the idea to fortify themself in the battle which proved crucial for Serbian victory.[6][7] Afterwards, the Governing Council-Soviet (Правитељствујушчи совјет) awarded him the rank of Bimbaša (a commander of 1000 men) and Vojvoda.[citation needed]
After the Battle of Deligrad in 1806 against Ibrahim Bushati, pasha of Scutari, he became one of the most important men in Serbia.
