In 1817, Serbia's First Uprising leader Karađorđe Petrović returned from exile to a hero's welcome. But within weeks, his severed head was on display in Belgrade, and his rival Miloš Obrenović had sealed an alliance with the Ottomans. How did the founder of the Karađorđević dynasty meet such a brutal end? This episode examines the assassination of Karađorđe in the village of Radovanje, the political machinations between Miloš and the Ottoman vizier Marashli Ali Paşa, the role of the Greek secret society Filiki Eteria, and the decades-long blood feud between the Obrenović and Karađorđević families. We also explore the murky circumstances—was Miloš's half-brother Miloje the actual killer? Did Karađorđe's dream of a Balkan Christian alliance cost him his life? And how did the severed head end up in the Imperial Museum in Istanbul? This is a story of ambition, betrayal, and the birth of Serbia's dynastic rivalry.
