Prodan Gligorijević, known simply asHadži Prodan (Serbian Cyrillic:Хаџи Продан Глигоријевић; c. 1760 – 1825) was a Serbianvoivode (military commander) in theFirst Serbian Uprising of theSerbian Revolution, then theGreek War of Independence, against theOttoman Empire. He led an unsuccessful rebellion in 1814, dubbedHadži Prodan's Revolt.
Prodan Gligorijević was born around 1760, and he hailed fromSjenica. His epithet,hajji is a honorific title given to Christians that completed the pilgrimage to theHoly Land (Jerusalem).[1]
He joined the fighting in 1806. Prodan participated in the battles ofSjenica, Nova Varoš, Prijepolje, Bijelo Polje, andSuvodol (1809). After the fall of the uprising (Hursid Pasha capturedBelgrade in October 1813), his unit stayed in Mučnja for some months. He gave himself up to the Ottomans and settled in the Trnava monastery inČačak.
As the Ottoman tyranny continued, he was put to lead the rebellion in thePožeganahija. His badly organized rebellion against the Ottomans in theČačak region in 1814, known asHadži-Prodan's rebellion, was quickly beaten. He fled first toAustria in 1815, thenWallachia, where he joined theGreek War of Independence in 1821. He died in 1825.
