Stefan Tronoški

Stefan Tronoški (Serbian: Стефан Троношки; 1759–1799) was a Serb Orthodox monk and archimandrite (monastery supervisor) who organized the Serb people in the Belgrade Pashalik during the Austro-Turkish War (1788–1791). He was a proponent of Serbian autonomy following Austrian retreat, which the Serbs partly received in the Pashalik in 1793–94. While amnestied, his war-time activities compromised him and he retreated to monastic life at Tronoša Monastery, where he had taken monastic vows and served as archimandrite. He was poisoned in 1799 when he asked the Pasha of the neighbouring sanjak for food during a hunger. He was declared a saint in 2017.
