Toša Đorđević
Serbian voivode
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toša Đorđević (c. 1790–1850) was a Serbian revolutionary, known for his bravery in the First Serbian Uprising. He was a buljubaša and the right-hand-man of Hajduk Veljko during the liberation of the Gurgusovac (modern Knjaževac) region. After the liberation of the area, Toša was promoted to the rank of vojvoda of Gurgusovac.[1] Years later, Toša fell in disfavour when Miloš Obrenović's government removed him as the captain of Zaglavlje after the suppression of a rebellion in the Bulgarian town of Belogradchik in 1836.[2] Miloš did this as a diplomatic move to appease the Porte and remove all existing rumours of troubles brewing at the borders of Serbia and Bulgaria. He died in 1850 in Knjaževac.
