| Comment: | Marko Miljanov Popović Drekalović (1833, Meldun – 1901, Herceg Novi) was a Montenegrin general, writer and chief of the Kuči clan (one of the Serbian Highland clans of Montenegro). His father was an Orthodox Christian Serb and his mother an Albanian Roman Catholic. He dedicated most of his writing to Montenegrin society. He entered the service of Danilo I, the first Prince of Montenegro, leading his armed Kuči clan against the Ottoman Empire in the wars of 1861–1862 and 1876–1878 and distinguishing himself as an able military leader. He unified his clan with Montenegro in 1874. |
