Biography
Tihomilj Nikolić or Teša as everyone called him was born in
Milan Obrenović
. In 1873, as a colonel, he commanded the Belgrade garrison.
He was the commander of the standing army in 1874 and 1875 at the eve of the
Javor
(mountain in Serbia).
Teša distinguished himself as a capable
royal commissioner[5] during the suppression of the so-called Timok Rebellion
.
He was married to the once divorced daughter of Jovan Obrenović who was connected with the House of Obrenović which may have helped Teša advance to the rank of general more rapidly during the reign of that dynasty.
Teša was the first president of the Belgrade Gymnastics and Wrestling Society.[6]
