[1] Mihailo Radović's ancestors are from Montenegro and during the migration, they first stayed near Priboj and from there they settled, at the end of the 17th or the beginning of the 18th century, in the village of Ravni in the Užice region.As a diligent, enterprising and prudent man, he acquired considerable wealth and was respected in his village and the entire region.At the suggestion of Miloš Obrenović, who was the commander of the Užice Nahija, for this feat, Radović was appointed by the Karađorđe and the Governing Council as the Duke of Zlatibor, issuing him a diploma on that occasion.He also stood out in the battles against Suleiman Pasha of Skopje when in 1809 he struck Talambas with 3,000 men, where a fortified trench was located.Mihailo Radović was a typical MP in the turbulent times of the Serbian uprisings, always accepting responsible administrative positions such as secretary in important sessions.He was characterized by courage and intelligence and honesty (he, unlike some other leaders of the uprising, did not receive any monetary compensation from the state treasury, except the one for covering the necessary expenses).
