by papaI legatee in 1917, and, in order
to pacify his orthodox subjects, recrown-
ed by his brother. st. Sava, archbishop
of Servia, in 1922. On that occasion the
crown was provided by the Byzantine
emperor. From that time the Servian
sovereign bore the title of king, or
'kral,' till, in 1916. Stephen Dushan was

name of king. Since his death no Serb
