Profile

Alexander ascended the Serbian throne after his father's abdication. He alienated supporters through authoritarian moves and suspension of the constitution. In 1900, he married a woman 10 years his senior of dubious reputation and his cabinet resigned in protest. His reign ended in a coup d'état in 1903 when military conspirators invaded the royal palace and murdered Alexander and his court.
