Petar I of Montenegro (1747-1830)
Petar I Petrović-Njegoš
St. Peter of Cetinje
the Poet-Bishop: "Petar II of Montenegro, is seen by many scholars as the most impressive Montenegrin leader of all times. Prince-Bishop (Vladika) Rade apart from having laid down the foundation of the modern Montenegrin state and the subsequent Kingdom of Montenegro was also one of the most glorified South Slav poets."
Peter Mikhailov
the Father of HIs Country:
--" . . . The Porte declared war against the Czar towards the end of 1710; the latter opened the campaign of 1711 by an expedition which he undertook into Moldavia; but having rashly penetrated into the interior of that province, he was surrounded by the Grand Vizier near Falczi on the Pruth. Besieged in his camp by an army vastly superior to his won, . . . he found no other means of extricating himself . . . than by agreeing to a treaty . . . of 21st July 1711 . . . It was on this occasion that the Senate conferred on him the epithet of Great, the Father of his Country, and Emperor of all the Russias. His inauguration to the Imperial dignity took place, October 22nd 1721, the very day of the rejoicing that had been appointed for the celebration of the peace. Peter himself put the Imperial crown on his head." (Koch: 50)
--"Peter extended the limits of the empire both in Europe and Asia. He changed the face of Russia by his zealous promotion of trade and navigation, manufactures and education; effected an immense change in the manners and customs of the Russians, and after the conclusion of peace with Sweden received the title of 'Emperor of all the Russias and Father of his Country'."
the German (Ger. der Deutsche): "The first deposed monarch of the Hungarians was Peter, the nephew of Stephen, who was called 'the German,' chiefly because he employed Germans in all the high offices of the kingdom. This led to an insurrection, which carried a Stephen Aba temporarily to the throne. . . ." (Doran: 304)

the Limp:
Peter III of Russia:
Peter the Foreigner: "Peter III's life is dramatic in that he had the precarious fate to reign in a precarious country. Had he stayed in Holstein, he would probably have lived a long life and died an exemplary duke much bereaved by his subjects. Instead, it fell to his lot to come to Russia, where he had the offensive nickname 'foreigner' stuck to him, meaning that here was a Russophobe, a lover of military drills, a petty tyrant, and a fool. It is is true that every man is a master of his fate, then Peter had obviously bungled his and one had to agree with Catherine's writing that Peter III himself was his own worst enemy---so irrational were all his actions." (Anisimov: 274)
