Order of Petrović-Njegoš

The Order of Petrović Njegoš (Montenegrin: Orden Petrović Njegoš; Cyrillic: Орден Петровић Његош) is a dynastic order of the Royal House of Montenegro. It was founded in 1896 by King Nikola I to commemorate two hundred years of rule by the House of Petrović Njegoš, and is the most exclusive of the House's honours, being reserved for members of the dynasty and their kinsmen. Conferred in a single class and described by collectors as extremely rare, it ranks third in precedence among the three principal dynastic orders of the Royal House, after the Order of Saint Peter of Cetinje and the Order of Prince Danilo I.

Following the fall of the monarchy in 1918, the Order ceased to be a state decoration and is today conferred as a private house order under the fons honorum held by the Head of the Royal House of Montenegro. In 2011 the Parliament of Montenegro adopted the Law on the Status of the Descendants of the Petrović Njegoš Dynasty, recognising a non-political role for the Royal House in the cultural life of the country.
